Mechanism of action

Carbohydrates serve as a quick energy substrate to support cardiac and skeletal muscle function, while nitrates act as nitric oxide donors to promote vasodilation, reduce preload and afterload, and improve coronary blood flow. This combination is typically used in acute cardiovascular settings to enhance perfusion and reduce cardiac workload.
