How Does It Work?

Isosorbide Mononitrate, the active ingredient in STERIS'S ISMN 40, is a nitrate that relaxes and dilates blood vessels, including those in the heart. This vasodilation lowers the heart's oxygen demand by reducing the workload on the heart and improving blood flow. The sustained-release mechanism of the formulation ensures that the drug is gradually released into the bloodstream, providing continuous protection against angina throughout the day.

Directions for Use:

• Dosage: Take one tablet of STERIS'S ISMN 40 once daily, preferably in the morning.
• Administration: Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this can affect the sustained-release mechanism.
• Consistency: Use the medication regularly to achieve the best results and adhere to the prescribed dosage regimen.

While STERIS'S ISMN 40 is generally well-tolerated, some patients may experience side effects. Common side effects include:

• Headache: A frequent side effect due to the dilating effect on blood vessels.
