Isosorbide Mononitrate Tablets

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), which is the same as endothelial relaxing factor. It activates guanylate cyclase, increases cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in smooth muscle cells, and thus relaxes vascular smooth muscle, dilates peripheral arteries and veins, and has a stronger dilating effect on veins. Venous dilation causes blood to remain in the periphery, reduces the amount of blood returning to the heart, and reduces 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.

Ingredients

The main chemical name of this product is: 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-sorbitol-5-mononitrate.

Appearance

This product is white tablets.

Indication

Long-term treatment of coronary heart disease, prevention of vasospastic and mixed angina pectoris, and also suitable for treatment after myocardial infarction and long-term treatment of chronic heart failure.

Usage and Dosage

Tablets: 10-20 mg orally, 2 to 3 times a day. For severe cases, 40 mg can be used, 2 to 3 times a day.

Adverse Reactions

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.

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: All studies on this type of drug were conducted in adults. There is no data comparing the use of drugs in children and adults, so it is not recommended for use in children. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: No toxic effects on embryos were observed in animal experiments, and it is not clear whether ISMN is excreted through breast milk. However, due to the lack of experience in the use of drugs in pregnant and lactating women, it should be used with caution. Precautions for the elderly: Elderly patients may be more sensitive to this type of drug and are more likely to experience reactions such as dizziness.

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.
