Isosorbide mononitrate sustained-release capsules (IV)

Function and Efficacy

Isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) is the main biologically active metabolite of isosorbide dinitrate. Like other organic nitrates, its main pharmacological action is to relax vascular smooth muscle. ISMN releases nitric oxide (NO). NO is the same as endothelial relaxing factor, activating guanylate cyclase, increasing cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in smooth muscle cells, thereby relaxing vascular smooth muscle, dilating peripheral arteries and veins, and having a stronger dilating effect on veins. Venous dilation causes blood to remain in the periphery, reducing the amount of blood returning to the heart, and reducing left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge pressure (preload). Arterial dilation reduces peripheral vascular resistance, systolic arterial pressure, and mean arterial pressure (afterload). Coronary artery dilation increases coronary perfusion. The overall effect is to reduce myocardial oxygen consumption, increase oxygen supply, and relieve angina pectoris. No carcinogenic and mutagenic phenomena were observed in animal experiments.

Ingredients

Isosorbide mononitrate Chemical name: 1,4∶3,6-dianhydro-D-sorbitol-5-nitrate

Name Description Content CAS NO. Manufacturer
Isosorbide 5-mononitrateIngredients

It relaxes vascular smooth muscle and activates guanylate cyclase by releasing nitric oxide (NO), which increases the amount of cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in smooth muscle cells, thereby relaxing vascular smooth muscle, dilating peripheral arteries and veins, reducing myocardial oxygen consumption, increasing oxygen supply, and relieving angina pectoris.

Appearance

This product is in the form of tablets.

Indication

Prevention and treatment of angina pectoris. Long-term treatment of coronary heart disease and myocardial infarction with persistent angina pectoris symptoms. Auxiliary treatment of chronic cor pulmonale and chronic congestive heart failure.

Usage and Dosage

Take once daily after breakfast.

Adverse Reactions

Nitrate-induced vasodilatory headache may occur in the early stage of medication, but the symptoms usually disappear after taking it for several days. Facial flushing, dizziness, orthostatic hypotension and reflex tachycardia may also occur. Occasionally, blood pressure is significantly reduced, bradycardia, angina pectoris is aggravated and syncope may occur.

Precautions

Acute circulatory failure (shock, circulatory collapse); severe hypotension (systolic blood pressure 90 mmHg); acute myocardial infarction with low filling pressures (unless under continuous hemodynamic monitoring); hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy; constrictive pericarditis or cardiac tamponade; severe anaemia; glaucoma; increased intracranial pressure; allergy to nitro compounds.

Special Population Medication

Precautions for children: Not yet clear. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: Not yet clear. Precautions for the elderly: Not yet clear.

Drug Interactions

Combination with other vasodilators, calcium antagonists, beta-receptor blockers, antihypertensive drugs, tricyclic antidepressants and alcohol can enhance the blood pressure lowering effect of this class of drugs.

Storage

Sealed, dark, cool and dry place.

Packaging Specification
