A nitrovasodilator is a pharmaceutical agent that causes vasodilation (widening of blood vessels) by donation of nitric oxide (NO),[1] and is mostly used for the treatment and prevention of angina pectoris.
This group of drugs includes nitrates (esters of nitric acid), which are reduced to NO in the body, as well as some other substances.
