Description
Isosorbide Dinitrate is an oral medication primarily used to treat and prevent angina pectoris, a type of chest pain associated with coronary artery disease. It belongs to a class of drugs known as nitrates, which help to relax and widen blood vessels. This action allows blood to flow more easily to the heart, reducing the heart’s workload and the risk of an angina attack. Isosorbide Dinitrate is available in tablet form, including immediate-release and extended-release formulations, and is sometimes prescribed alongside other cardiovascular medications.
