Product Description
Isonorm 30 SR Tablet contains isosorbide mononitrate, a medicine commonly used in the prevention and long-term management of angina pectoris, which is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It belongs to the nitrate group of medicines and works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing more oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart muscle. The “SR” form provides a slow and sustained release of the medicine for longer-lasting effect.
Benefits
This tablet helps reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks. By improving blood flow, it decreases strain on the heart and enhances exercise capacity in people with heart-related chest discomfort. Regular use contributes to better control of symptoms and improves overall quality of life in individuals with heart conditions.
Possible Side Effects
The most common effects include headache, flushing, dizziness, and a feeling of lightheadedness. Some people may experience nausea, tiredness, or low blood pressure. Rarely, allergic reactions, fainting, or irregular heartbeat may occur. Any persistent or serious symptom should be reported to a doctor promptly.
How to Use
The tablet should be taken by mouth with a glass of water, usually in the morning, or as directed by the doctor. It should be swallowed whole and not crushed or chewed. Regular use is important for effectiveness, and it should not be stopped suddenly without medical advice.
What to Avoid
Alcohol should be avoided as it may increase dizziness and risk of very low blood pressure. The tablet should not be used for sudden angina attacks; instead, fast-acting nitroglycerin may be prescribed for that purpose. Driving or operating heavy machinery should be avoided if dizziness occurs.
Precautions
Patients with low blood pressure, severe anemia, or recent head injury should not use this medicine without medical supervision. It should be used cautiously in those with liver, kidney, or thyroid problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women must consult their doctor before use. The medicine may interact with drugs used for erectile dysfunction, such as sildenafil or tadalafil, and such combinations should be avoided.
