Isosorbide Dinitrate

Isosorbide Dinitrate is a medication used for the treatment of angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as nitrates, which help relax and widen the blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow and reducing the severity and frequency of angina attacks.
Isosorbide Dinitrate is available in tablet form and is typically taken sublingually (under the tongue) or crushed and mixed with food for easier consumption. The medication starts working within a few minutes to a couple of hours, depending on the dosage and individual response. Isosorbide Dinitrate should not be used for the treatment of heart attacks, and its use should be under the supervision of a healthcare professional.
Follow the prescribed dosage and avoid overuse of Isosorbide Dinitrate, as it may lead to a condition called tolerance, where the medication becomes less effective over time. If you experience any side effects or if your angina symptoms worsen, consult your healthcare provider immediately.
