Sodium nitroprusside dihydrate（Cat No.:A000686） is a potent vasodilator used primarily to rapidly lower blood pressure in emergencies, such as hypertensive crises or acute heart failure. Its active component, sodium nitroprusside, releases nitric oxide when administered intravenously, which relaxes smooth muscle cells and dilates blood vessels. This rapid vasodilation effectively reduces both preload and afterload on the heart, improving cardiac output and decreasing blood pressure. The dihydrate form indicates that each molecule of sodium nitroprusside is associated with two water molecules, enhancing its stability and solubility for medical use.
