L-Arginine is an amino acid that does the same thing as nitroglycerine as it causes a release of nitrous oxide, a powerful vasodilator. I don't see what it would have to offer over the nitro ointment currently used. Alternatively, you can take it in powder form, orally, but I have read that the doses required for this commonly cause diarrhea. Oral dosing may also cause other systemic side effects such as lightheadedness as it lowers blood pressure.
