Description:
Imdur 60mg Tablet PR is primarily used to prevent angina, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It contains isosorbide mononitrate, a nitrate that works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow to the heart and thereby reducing the heart’s workload. It is important to note that Imdur is not intended to relieve chest pain once an angina attack has started—it is used to prevent such episodes from occurring.
This medication can be taken with or without food and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The dosage and frequency may be adjusted based on your response to the treatment. Even if you begin to feel better, continue taking it regularly to maintain its preventive benefits. Stopping the medication suddenly can increase your risk of chest pain. Lifestyle modifications such as eating a heart-healthy diet, regular physical activity, and avoiding smoking can enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.
Over time, your body may develop a tolerance to Imdur, which can reduce its effectiveness. To minimize this risk, it’s essential to follow a precise dosing schedule as recommended by your doctor.
Common side effects include headache, flushing, upper respiratory tract infections, abdominal pain, allergic reactions, chest pain, and diarrhea. These effects are usually mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Some side effects can be managed by staying hydrated, avoiding alcohol, and using mild pain relievers.
