Before you begin using a medication, be sure to inform your doctor of any medical conditions or Allergies you may have, any medications you are taking, whether you are pregnant or breast-feeding, and any other significant facts about your health.

Heart disease: Isosorbide-5-mononitrate may cause some symptoms of heart disease to become worse.
