Isosorbide Mononitrate is an antianginal agent used in the management of coronary artery disease.

- Prevention of angina pectoris: reduces the frequency of angina attacks in patients with stable coronary disease. - Stable angina: improves exercise tolerance by decreasing myocardial oxygen demand. - Angina prophylaxis in coronary artery disease: helps maintain symptom‑free periods during daily activities.

Isosorbide Mononitrate may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying from mild to serious.

Common Side Effects: - Headache: throbbing pain often occurring after the first dose. - Dizziness: light‑headed sensation, especially when standing quickly. - Flushing: warmth and redness of the skin. - Nausea: mild stomach upset. - Low blood pressure: occasional orthostatic hypotension. - Palpitations: awareness of heartbeat.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe hypotension: marked drop in blood pressure requiring medical attention. - Syncope: sudden loss of consciousness. - Myocardial infarction: rare occurrence of heart attack. - Allergic reaction: rash, itching, swelling, or difficulty breathing. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: severe skin reaction, extremely rare.

Before prescribing Isosorbide Mononitrate, clinicians should consider several precautionary measures. - Cardiovascular assessment: evaluate blood pressure and cardiac status prior to initiation. - Concomitant nitrates: avoid using with other nitrate preparations to prevent excessive vasodilation. - Phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors: do not combine with sildenafil or similar agents. - Hepatic impairment: use with caution in patients with liver dysfunction. - Discontinuation: do not stop abruptly; tapering may be required to avoid rebound angina. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and heat.

Isosorbide Mononitrate can interact with several medicines, altering its safety or efficacy.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Other nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin): additive vasodilatory effect leading to severe hypotension. - Phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil): risk of profound blood pressure fall. - Antihypertensive agents (e.g., ACE inhibitors, ARBs): may cause excessive blood pressure reduction.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Alcohol: can enhance hypotensive effects. - Diuretics: may increase risk of low blood pressure and electrolyte imbalance. - Beta‑blockers: combined effect on heart rate and blood pressure may require dose adjustment.
