    Nitroprusside is a medication used primarily to treat hypertensive emergencies by lowering blood pressure. Nitroprusside works in the body to increase cyclic GMP through the release of nitric oxide in blood vessels, which eventually causes vasodilation. Notably, nitroprusside causes nearly equal dilation of both arteries and veins. The drug is short acting with effects on the body usually lasting less than 10 minutes. At high doses, nitroprusside can cause the side effect of cyanide toxicity.
