Nitroprusside ampoules are used to treat cases of acute hypertension, as they provide a rapid and effective effect in lowering blood pressure. Congestive heart failure is a condition that requires careful management of blood pressure. Nitroprusside helps reduce the burden on the heart by reducing the resistance of the arteries, which contributes to improving the heart's blood supply.
Nitroprusside is used as an aid in major surgeries, where precise control of blood pressure may be required. This control allows surgeons to work in environments that are safe in terms of blood pressure. It is used in cases of acute heart attacks. It can help improve blood flow to the heart muscle, thus reducing potential damage resulting from ischemia.
