A polymeric composition includes poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres; and at least one of a discrete RSNO adduct or a polymeric RSNO encapsulated within the microspheres, with the at least one of the discrete RSNO adduct or the polymeric RSNO adduct capable of releasing nitric oxide (NO). The polymeric composition exhibits stability under dry conditions at 37° C. and prolonged and controllable NO release rates, when exposed to light capable of photolyzing an RSNO bond, or when exposed to moisture, for a predetermined amount of time from the at least one of the discrete RSNO adduct or the polymeric RSNO adduct.
