Frequently asked questions

Can Isosorbide Mononitrate be taken at night?

Your doctor may recommend taking Isosorbide Mononitrate once or twice daily. If taken once, it is best in the morning. If twice, maintain a 7-hour gap between doses to prevent tolerance.

Does Isosorbide Mononitrate affect heart rate?

Yes, Isosorbide Mononitrate can affect heart rate. It may cause bradycardia due to lowered blood pressure, but in some cases, it can also lead to tachycardia. Consult your doctor if you experience any discomfort or changes in heart rate after taking this medication.

Does Isosorbide Mononitrate lower blood pressure?

Yes, Isosorbide Mononitrate can lower blood pressure by widening blood vessels and reducing resistance. This may decrease heart rate, potentially leading to angina. It should be avoided in individuals with low blood pressure; consult your doctor with any concerns.

Can I stop taking Isosorbide Mononitrate after some time?

No, do not discontinue Isosorbide Mononitrate without consulting your doctor, as sudden cessation may increase the risk of anginal attacks. Discuss any concerns with your healthcare provider.

Can I take sildenafil while taking Isosorbide Mononitrate?

No, do not take sildenafil with Isosorbide Mononitrate, as both lower blood pressure and may lead to severe hypotension, fainting, or heart attack. Avoid other similar medications like vardenafil and tadalafil.

What if I forget to take a dose of Isosorbide Mononitrate?

If you remember the missed dose within 12 hours, take it. If more than 12 hours have passed, skip the missed dose and resume your regular schedule.

What are the symptoms of an overdose of Isosorbide Mononitrate?

Symptoms of an overdose may include throbbing headache, skin flushing, chills with sweating, nausea, vomiting, and rapid heartbeat. Seek emergency assistance immediately if you exceed the recommended dose.
