Sodium nitroprusside（Cat No.:I001698） is a potent vasodilator that acts by releasing nitric oxide (NO) spontaneously in the blood. Nitric oxide is a signaling molecule that relaxes and dilates blood vessels, resulting in increased blood flow and reduced blood pressure. Sodium nitroprusside is commonly used in medical settings to rapidly lower blood pressure during emergencies or in critical care situations. By promoting vasodilation, it helps alleviate conditions such as hypertensive crises and congestive heart failure by improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart.
