Isorem 10mg Isosorbide Dinitrate Tablets - 1 Strip of 10 Tablets
Patients with coronary artery disease frequently experience angina pectoris (severe chest pain) when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen. Isorem 10mg provides essential prophylactic vasodilator therapy. It features an active Isosorbide Dinitrate formulation that actively manages severe clinical cardiovascular disorders[cite: 3]. By converting to nitric oxide in the body, it relaxes and widens both veins and arteries, drastically reducing the workload on the heart and improving blood flow to the ischemic myocardium.
How to Use / Operate
Take orally exactly as prescribed by your cardiologist. Standardized clinical dosing strictly ensures safe long term circulatory protection[cite: 3]. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Dosage is typically spaced out during the day to allow for a nitrate-free period (usually overnight) to prevent drug tolerance.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is Isorem 10mg used for?
It is a prescription nitrate medication used to prevent attacks of angina (chest pain) associated with coronary artery disease.
Can I use this to stop an active heart attack?
No. Isosorbide dinitrate tablets are used to *prevent* angina. They do not work fast enough to stop an acute angina attack once it has started (sublingual nitroglycerin is used for emergencies).
Important Clinical Considerations
As a highly bioavailable compound, it effectively prevents dangerous systemic ischemic angina episodes[cite: 3]. Strictly contraindicated in patients taking PDE5 inhibitors (such as sildenafil/Viagra), as the combination can cause a fatal drop in blood pressure. Severe headaches and facial flushing are very common side effects when initiating therapy.
