CARDULES ISDN 5

CARDULES ISDN 5 is a prescription medication containing Isosorbide Dinitrate 5mg, a well-established nitrate used for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart). It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing improved blood flow to the heart muscle. CARDULES ISDN 5 is commonly prescribed to manage chronic chest pain and is also used in heart failure treatment protocols under medical supervision.

Key Ingredient:

• Isosorbide Dinitrate (5mg): A vasodilator from the nitrate group that helps relieve and prevent episodes of angina (chest pain) by relaxing blood vessels.

Key Benefits:

• Prevents Angina Attacks: Regular use helps reduce the frequency and severity of chest pain episodes.

• Improves Blood Flow to the Heart: Dilates blood vessels, allowing the heart to receive more oxygen-rich blood.

• Reduces Cardiac Workload: Helps decrease the strain on the heart, particularly in patients with coronary artery disease.

• Used in Heart Failure Management: May be used alongside other medications to support patients with congestive heart failure.

• Supports Long-Term Cardiovascular Health: When used under proper medical supervision, it may help manage symptoms of chronic ischemic heart conditions.

How Does It Work?

Isosorbide Dinitrate, the active component of CARDULES ISDN 5, is converted in the body to nitric oxide. Nitric oxide activates an enzyme called guanylate cyclase, leading to the relaxation of smooth muscle cells in blood vessel walls. This vasodilation lowers blood pressure in veins and arteries, reduces myocardial oxygen demand, and improves blood supply to the heart, especially during physical exertion or stress.

This mechanism effectively prevents angina attacks and reduces heart strain in patients with coronary artery disease or heart failure.

Directions for Use:

• Take CARDULES ISDN 5 exactly as prescribed by your physician.

• It is usually taken orally, with or without food.

• Do not crush or chew the tablet; swallow it whole with water.

• Try to take it at the same time each day for best results.

• Your doctor may advise a specific dosing schedule to prevent nitrate tolerance (a decrease in drug effectiveness over time).

• Do not stop the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to worsening chest pain.

Side Effects:

While CARDULES ISDN 5 is generally well-tolerated, some individuals may experience the following side effects:

Common Side Effects:

• Headache (most frequent, especially at the start of therapy)

• Dizziness or lightheadedness

• Flushing (warmth, redness in the face or neck)

• Low blood pressure (especially when standing up)

• Nausea or vomiting

Rare but Serious Side Effects:

• Fainting

• Rapid heartbeat (tachycardia)

• Severe hypotension

• Allergic reactions (rash, swelling, itching)

Precautions:

• Avoid alcohol as it may enhance blood pressure-lowering effects.

• Do not use with phosphodiesterase inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil/Viagra) as it may lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.

• Inform your doctor if you have a history of glaucoma, anemia, or recent head injury.
