Frequently asked questions about Isosorbide Dinitrate
Q. What is Isosorbide Dinitrate and what is it used for?
Isosorbide Dinitrate belongs to a group of medicines called organic nitrates. Isosorbide Dinitrate is used to prevent and treat angina pectoris and as an adjunctive treatment in severe acute or chronic congestive cardiac failure.
Q. How does Isosorbide Dinitrate work?
Isosorbide Dinitrate works by widening the blood vessels in your heart to allow an increased amount of blood flow to areas which need it.
Q. Does Isosorbide Dinitrate lower heart rate?
No, Isosorbide Dinitrate does not lower heart rate. However, in some cases, one may experience reflex tachycardia (fast heart rate) while using nitrates such as Isosorbide Dinitrate.
Q. Does Isosorbide Dinitrate lower blood pressure?
Yes, Isosorbide Dinitrate lowers blood pressure. This medicine widens the blood vessels and decreases the resistance in them, causing a fall in blood pressure. This fall in blood pressure may in turn decrease the heartbeat which can lead to angina. This medicine should be avoided in people who already have low blood pressure. Discuss with your doctor if you have any concerns.
Q. Can I take sildenafil while taking Isosorbide Dinitrate?
No, you should not take sildenafil along with Isosorbide Dinitrate. Both these medicines lower blood pressure and belong to the same class. Taking these two medicines together may cause significant decrease in blood pressure which can cause fainting or even a heart attack. Along with this, avoid taking other medicines which belong to the same class such as vardenafil and tadalafil.
