Isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN 20), marketed under the brand name Steris's ISMN 20, is a medication used in the treatment of angina pectoris, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscles. This article provides a detailed overview of ISMN 20, including its uses, dosage, side effects, precautions, and more.

Uses of ISMN 20:

1. Angina Pectoris: ISMN 20 is primarily prescribed for the management of angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain or discomfort due to inadequate blood flow to the heart muscle. It works by dilating the blood vessels, increasing blood flow, and reducing the workload on the heart.

2. Heart Failure: In some cases, ISMN 20 may be used as part of the treatment for heart failure, a condition where the heart is unable to pump blood effectively.

Dosage:

• The usual recommended starting dose of ISMN 20 for angina is 20 mg orally twice daily.
• The dosage may be titrated based on individual response and tolerance, with a maximum daily dose of 240 mg.
• It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
• ISMN 20 is typically taken with water, preferably on an empty stomach or at least 1 hour before or 2 hours after meals.
• Do not crush or chew extended-release tablets. Swallow them whole.

Side Effects of ISMN 20:

Like any medication, ISMN 20 may cause side effects. Common side effects include:

1. Headache
2. Dizziness
3. Flushing
4. Nausea
5. Vomiting
6. Weakness
7. Low blood pressure (hypotension)

Precautions:

• Inform your healthcare provider about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have low blood pressure, hypothyroidism, or liver disease.
• Avoid alcohol consumption while taking ISMN 20 as it may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness and lightheadedness.
• Use caution when driving or operating machinery as ISMN 20 may cause dizziness or drowsiness.
• Do not suddenly stop taking ISMN 20 without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to worsening of angina symptoms.

ISMN 20 may interact with other medications, including:

1. Erectile dysfunction drugs (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil)
2. Blood pressure-lowering medications
3. Calcium channel blockers
4. Beta-blockers
