STERIS'S ISMN 40 Mg

Isosorbide Mononitrate SR 40 mg, marketed as STERIS'S ISMN 40, is a medication primarily used to prevent chest pain (angina) in individuals with heart conditions. This long-acting nitrate is known for its vasodilatory effects, improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart.

Uses

1. Angina Treatment: It's prescribed to manage angina pectoris, including chronic stable angina and variant angina (Prinzmetal's angina).
2. Heart Failure: In some cases, it's used off-label to alleviate symptoms of heart failure, particularly in conjunction with other heart medications.
3. Hypertension: Isosorbide Mononitrate SR can help lower blood pressure in certain hypertensive patients.

Dosage

• Initial Dose: Typically, patients start with 20 mg to 30 mg once daily in the morning.
• Maintenance Dose: The usual maintenance dose is 40 mg to 60 mg once daily, administered in the morning.
• Administration: It's crucial to swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Crushing or chewing the tablet may diminish its efficacy.
• Timing: To maintain consistent levels in the bloodstream, take it at the same time each day.

Side Effects

While Isosorbide Mononitrate SR is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience:

• Headache: This is the most common side effect and often subsides as the body adjusts to the medication.
• Dizziness or Lightheadedness: Standing up slowly from a sitting or lying position can help prevent this.
• Nausea: Taking the medication with food may reduce nausea.
• Flushing: Temporary skin redness or warmth may occur.
• Low Blood Pressure: Rarely, it may cause a drop in blood pressure, especially in individuals already prone to low blood pressure.

Precautions

1. Avoid Alcohol: Alcohol can increase the risk of low blood pressure and exacerbate side effects.
2. Drug Interactions: Inform your healthcare provider about all medications, especially other vasodilators, blood pressure medications, and erectile dysfunction drugs like sildenafil (Viagra).
3. Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult your doctor regarding the use of Isosorbide Mononitrate SR during pregnancy or while breastfeeding.
4. Allergic Reactions: If you have a history of allergic reactions to nitrates, notify your doctor before starting this medication.
