Warnings

The recommended adult dose of isosorbide-5-mononitrate is 1 tablet (60 mg) taken once daily in the morning. Your doctor may increase the dose to 2 tablets (120 mg) once daily in the morning if necessary. To reduce the risk of headache, your doctor may suggest starting with one-half tablet (30 mg) once daily each morning for the first 2 to 4 days.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

The tablets should not be chewed or crushed, and should be swallowed together with half a glass of water. If necessary, the tablet may be split in half and the half tablet may be swallowed whole. You may sometimes find whole tablets in the stool. These are only the shell of the tablet, and you can be sure that the medication has been released.

The tablets are available in a 30-day package that is designed to make it easy to keep track of your medication. 28 tablets are labeled with a day of the week. To start, take a tablet in the first row that matches the day you begin this pack. Then take a tablet on each of the following days to complete the 28 labelled tablets. The 2 extra non-labelled tablets should be taken after all the other tablets are gone.

It is important to take Pro Ismn (Isosorbide-mononitrate) exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Isosorbide-5-mononitrate should be taken at about the same time every day. If you miss a dose and remember within 6 hours, take your usual dose as soon as possible, then go back to your regular schedule. If it has been more than 6 hours when you remember, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Pro Ismn (Isosorbide-mononitrate) at room temperature, protect it from light and moisture, and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.

leave everything as is.

An interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Speak to your doctor about how any drug interactions are being managed or should be managed.

Medications other than those listed above may interact with Pro Ismn (Isosorbide-mononitrate). Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter (non-prescription), and herbal medications you are taking. Also tell them about any supplements you take. Since caffeine, alcohol, the Nicotine from cigarettes, or street drugs can affect the action of many medications, you should let your prescriber know if you use them.

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. These factors may affect how you should use Pro Ismn (Isosorbide-mononitrate).

People who have or have had heart disease, Stroke, "mini-stroke", or are at risk of experiencing low blood pressure (e.g., dehydration, taking medications for high blood pressure) should discuss with their doctor how Pro Ismn (Isosorbide-mononitrate) may affect their medical condition, how their medical condition may affect the dosing and effectiveness of Pro Ismn (Isosorbide-mononitrate), and whether any special monitoring is needed.

Tolerance: With continued use, isosorbide-5-mononitrate may stop having beneficial effects because the body gets used to it (i.e., develops a tolerance). Call your doctor if at any time you feel that your angina attacks are getting worse or happening more often.
