Q. Can Isocor 40mg Tablet SR be taken at night?
Depending upon the dose, your doctor may recommend you to take this medicine once or twice daily. When a single dose is recommended, then it is preferred to be taken in the morning.

Q. Does Isocor 40mg Tablet SR lower BP?
Yes, Isocor 40mg Tablet SR can cause a fall in blood pressure. This medicine widens the blood vessels and decreases the resistance in them, causing a fall in blood pressure.

Discuss with your doctor if you have any concerns.
Q. Can I take sildenafil while taking Isocor 40mg Tablet SR?
No, you should not take sildenafil along with Isocor 40mg Tablet SR. Both these medicines lower blood pressure and belong to the same class.

Along with this, also avoid taking other medicines belonging to similar classes such as vardenafil and tadalafil.
