Isosorbide Mononitrate

Isosorbide Mononitrate is a medication used to prevent angina attacks (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart). It works by dilating blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart, and reducing the workload on the heart muscle.

Uses: Isosorbide Mononitrate is used to:

• Prevent angina attacks
• Reduce the frequency and severity of angina episodes

Important Considerations:

1. Headache: Isosorbide Mononitrate can cause headaches, especially when starting treatment. These headaches may subside over time.
2. Low Blood Pressure: Isosorbide Mononitrate can lower blood pressure. If you have low blood pressure, consult with a healthcare professional before taking this medication.
3. Tolerance: Prolonged use of Isosorbide Mononitrate can lead to tolerance, where the medication becomes less effective over time. Your doctor may adjust your dosage or prescribe a different medication.
