Isosorbide Mononitrate
Description:
Monit 20mg Tablet contains isosorbide mononitrate, a nitrate medication used to prevent angina pectoris (chest pain) caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. Isosorbide mononitrate works by relaxing the smooth muscles of blood vessels, leading to vasodilation.
This dilation reduces the return of blood to the heart (preload) and the resistance the heart has to pump against (afterload), both of which decrease the heart’s workload and oxygen demand. It can also dilate the coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart muscle. The 20mg strength is a common dosage for long-term management of angina.
Monit 20mg Tablet is typically taken once or twice daily, as prescribed by a physician, and a nitrate-free interval may be recommended to prevent tolerance. Common side effects may include headache (which can be severe initially but often subsides), dizziness, and flushing. Monit 20mg is not used to treat acute angina attacks; sublingual nitroglycerin is used for immediate relief. It should be used with caution in patients with low blood pressure, and concurrent use with PDE5 inhibitors is contraindicated.
