Ismo Retard

Isosorbide Mononitrate, the active ingredient in Ismo Retard, is an organic nitrate presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It is used to prevent episodes of angina pectoris in adults.

GNH USA supplies Ismo Retard as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Ismo Retard belongs to the organic nitrate class and is employed in the management of coronary artery disease and related anginal conditions.

Stable angina: reduces the frequency and severity of chest pain episodes. Chronic ischemic heart disease: improves exercise tolerance by lowering myocardial oxygen demand. Prophylaxis of angina pectoris: maintains long‑term prevention of anginal attacks.

Ismo Retard may cause a range of adverse reactions. Patients should be aware of both frequent and less common events.

Common Side Effects: - Headache: often transient and related to vasodilation. - Dizziness or light‑headedness: especially on standing. - Flushing: warm sensation of the skin. - Nausea or abdominal discomfort. - Low blood pressure: mild orthostatic hypotension. - Palpitations: awareness of heartbeat.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe hypotension: can lead to syncope. - Acute myocardial infarction: rare but reported. - Allergic reactions: rash, itching, or swelling. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Life‑threatening arrhythmias. - Liver dysfunction: abnormal hepatic enzymes.

Before initiating Ismo Retard, clinicians should consider several safety aspects.

Cardiovascular assessment: evaluate baseline blood pressure and heart rate. Concomitant nitrate use: avoid combined therapy to prevent profound hypotension. Renal impairment: monitor renal function and adjust dose if needed. Hepatic impairment: use with caution in patients with liver disease. Pregnancy and lactation: safety not established; discuss risks with prescriber. Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25°C in the original container, protect from moisture.

Ismo Retard can interact with several medication classes; awareness helps prevent adverse events.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Other organic nitrates (e.g., nitroglycerin): risk of severe hypotension. - Phosphodiesterase‑5 inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil): may cause dangerous blood‑pressure drops.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Antihypertensives (ACE inhibitors, beta‑blockers): additive blood‑pressure lowering effect. - Diuretics: increase risk of dehydration and hypotension. - Alcohol: can enhance vasodilatory effects and dizziness.
