ANGININE- Product Information Page 1 of 5 ANGININE PRODUCT INFORMATION NAME OF THE MEDICINE ANGININE tablets contain glyceryl trinitrate. DESCRIPTION Glyceryl trinitrate is a white to pale yellow, thick, flammable, explosive liquid. It is slightly soluble in water (0.1% to 1% w/v) and soluble in acetone, alcohol, and ether. Glyceryl trinitrate has the following chemical structure: The molecular formula of Glyceryl Trinitrate is C 3 H 5 (O.NO 2 ) 3 and it has a molecular mass of 227.1 (_CAS _– 55 – 63 – 0) EXCIPIENTS: lactose, dextrin, maize starch, mannitol, glycerol, and magnesium stearate. PHARMACOLOGY ACTIONS ANGININE is a vasodilator which relieves angina pectoris. Pain in angina pectoris is believed to be the result of myocardial ischaemia secondary to coronary artery disease. In the relief of acute anginal pain the effect is apparent after 2 to 3 minutes and lasts for up to 20 or 30 minutes. ANGININE redistributes blood flow along collateral channels and from epicardial to endocardial regions and thus may increase blood flow to ischaemic areas. ANGININE also reduces oxygen demand by increasing venous capacitance causing pooling of blood in the peripheral veins and thereby reducing ventricular volume. Furthermore, the fall in arterial pressure will also reduce myocardial oxygen demand, although this may be offset by a reflex tachycardia. The beneficial effects of nitrates in pulmonary oedema depend on venous dilation and reduction of pre-load. ANGININE causes coronary vasodilation in coronary arteries that are in spasm, and may relieve pain in variant angina by this mechanism. ANGININE is thought to exert its vasodilator effect through the activation of guanylate cyclase in vascular smooth muscle cells by nitric oxide; this results in an increased synthesis of cyclic guanosine monophosphate, which leads to smooth muscle relaxation.
