Monit 60-SR Tablet

Product introduction
Monit 60-SR Tablet is a medicine used to prevent chest pain caused by heart problems (angina). It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow to the heart. However, this medicine is not meant to stop an ongoing angina attack once it has started.

You can take Monit 60-SR Tablet with or without meals. Your doctor will determine the right dose and frequency based on your health condition and how well the medicine is working for you. It’s important to continue taking it regularly as prescribed, even if you feel better. Stopping it suddenly may increase the risk of chest pain returning. Adopting healthy lifestyle habits like a balanced diet, regular exercise, and quitting smoking can enhance the benefits of this medicine.

Over time, your body may develop tolerance to this medication, which means it may not work as effectively. Following the dosing schedule exactly as advised by your doctor can help prevent this issue.

Some common side effects include headache, flushing, mild chest discomfort, abdominal pain, diarrhea, upper respiratory infections, and allergic reactions. If these effects are bothersome or do not go away, speak to your doctor. Drinking plenty of water, avoiding alcohol, and taking mild pain relievers can help manage some side effects.

Before using this medicine, inform your doctor if you have low blood pressure, glaucoma (increased eye pressure), kidney problems, or heart failure. Also, mention any other medications you are taking, as some drugs can interact with Monit 60-SR and may be harmful if taken together. Medicines used for erectile dysfunction should never be taken alongside this tablet. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine. During treatment, your doctor may monitor your blood pressure and heart rate regularly.
