What is Isosorbide and what is it used for:
Isosorbide is a medication used to prevent chest pain (angina) caused by coronary artery disease. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels in the body, which increases blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart. It is available under several brand names, including Imdur, Ismo, and Monoket.
How to take Isosorbide:
Isosorbide is taken orally, usually once or twice daily, with or without food. The dosage and duration of treatment will depend on the individual’s condition and response to treatment. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this can cause too much of the drug to be released at once.
Possible side effects of Isosorbide:
Isosorbide may cause some side effects, including:
Headache
Dizziness or lightheadedness
Flushing or warmth in the face, neck, or chest
Nausea or vomiting
Rapid or pounding heartbeat
Blurred vision
If any of these side effects persist or worsen, inform your doctor immediately. Seek emergency medical attention if you experience any signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
Precautions and warnings for Isosorbide:
Before taking Isosorbide, inform your doctor if you have any medical conditions, such as low blood pressure, congestive heart failure, or glaucoma. Isosorbide may interact with certain medications, including other vasodilators, blood pressure medications, and erectile dysfunction drugs. It is important to inform your doctor of all medications and supplements you are taking.
Isosorbide may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, especially when rising from a sitting or lying position. Use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
Do not take Isosorbide with alcohol, as this can increase the risk of side effects.
It is important to attend regular doctor appointments and report any new or worsening symptoms to your healthcare provider while taking Isosorbide. Imdur, Ismo, and Monoket (Isosorbide) are prescription medications and should only be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider.
