pharmachologic effect
The medicine works by stimulating nitric oxide on the vascular walls. It acts as a relaxer and improves the blood circulation process. Erinit reduces the load on the heart muscle, and especially on the right atrium. It also contributes to the expansion of peripheral veins, which positively affects the myocardium.
The drug begins to work actively immediately after the active substance enters the human blood. The effect of the drug spreads throughout the bloodstream, redistributing in the area with the lowest blood circulation and lowering the level of pressure in it. Erinit resumes the process of blood flow in small endocardial vessels. With angina pectoris, it significantly increases sensitivity to physical activity. Analogues "Erinita" have the same functions and almost identically affect the body.

Doctors prescribe Erinit for pathologies of the cardiovascular system, chronic, coronary insufficiency, angina pectoris, and also for coronary heart disease.

An analogue of “Erinit” in tablets may also be used. Instructions for use say that taking 1 tablet per day after two weeks of treatment can help reduce the unpleasant symptoms of poor blood flow.
With prolonged treatment with Erinit, the achieved result may gradually decrease. To reduce this probability, it is necessary to lower the dosage of the drug to one tablet per day.
