Monit 30 SR Tablet

Product introduction
Monit 30 SR Tablet is prescribed to help prevent chest pain caused by heart problems, commonly known as angina. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more smoothly to the heart. This medicine is not meant to stop an angina attack that has already started but is used to prevent future episodes.

You can take Monit 30 SR Tablet with or without food. Your doctor will determine the correct dosage and how often you should take it, and this may change depending on how well the medicine is working for you. It is important to take it regularly as prescribed, even if you are feeling well, as stopping suddenly may increase the risk of chest pain. Making certain lifestyle changes, such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking, can also help improve the effectiveness of this medicine.

Over time, your body may get used to this medicine, which can make it less effective. To prevent this, it is important to follow the exact dosing schedule recommended by your doctor.

Some common side effects include headaches, flushing, upper respiratory tract infections, abdominal discomfort, allergic reactions, chest pain, and diarrhea. If these effects become troublesome or do not go away, your doctor may suggest ways to manage them, such as drinking plenty of fluids, taking pain relievers, or avoiding alcohol.

Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure, glaucoma (increased pressure in the eyes), kidney issues, or heart failure. Also, let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking, especially those for erectile dysfunction, as they should not be taken with Monit 30 SR Tablet. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor if this medication is suitable for you. Your doctor may monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly while you are on this treatment.

Benefits of Monit 30 SR Tablet in Angina
Angina occurs when blood flow to the heart muscles is reduced due to narrowed coronary arteries, leading to chest discomfort. Monit 30 SR Tablet helps relax and widen blood vessels, which improves blood and oxygen flow to the heart. This reduces the frequency of angina attacks and eases chest pain.

Possible side effects
Most side effects are mild and tend to go away as your body adjusts to the medicine. However, if they persist or cause concern, seek medical advice.

• Headache

• Flushing (warm feeling in face, ears, neck, and upper body)

• Upper respiratory tract infection

• Abdominal pain

• Allergic reactions

• Chest discomfort

• Diarrhea

How to take Monit 30 SR Tablet
Take the tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow it whole with water and do not chew or crush it. While it can be taken with or without food, try to take it at the same time every day for the best results.

How it works
Monit 30 SR Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called nitrates. It widens the veins and arteries, allowing blood to pool in the veins, which reduces the amount of blood returning to the heart. This decreases the workload on the heart, so it requires less oxygen, which helps prevent chest pain.

Safety advice

• Alcohol: Avoid alcohol as it can increase side effects like flushing, rapid heartbeat, nausea, chest discomfort, and low blood pressure.

• Pregnancy: This medicine should be taken during pregnancy only if recommended by your doctor, as there is limited research on its safety.

• Breastfeeding: There is not enough information about its safety while breastfeeding. Speak with your doctor before use.
