Brand
name: Ismo Ismo is prescribed to prevent angina pectoris (crushing chest pain
that results when partially clogged arteries restrict the flow of needed
oxygen-rich blood to the heart muscle). This medication does not relieve
angina attacks already underway. Ismo may cause severe low blood pressure (possibly marked by dizziness
or fainting), especially when you are standing or if you sit up quickly.
People taking blood pressure medication or those who have low blood
pressure should use Ismo with caution. To maintain Ismo's protective effect, it is important that you take it exactly as prescribed. Take Ismo once a day, when you get up in the morning. It may be taken with or without food. Ismo tablets should not be crushed or chewed. Swallow them with half a glass of liquid. Do not switch to another brand of isosorbide mononitrate without consulting your doctor or pharmacist. If you miss a dose Ismo Take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Do not take 2 doses at the same time. --Storage instructions... Store at room temperature. Side effects cannot be anticipated. If any develop or change in intensity, tell your doctor as soon as possible. Only your doctor can determine if it is safe for you to continue taking Ismo. Headache is the most common side effect; usually, aspirin or acetaminophen
will relieve the pain. The headaches associated with Ismo usually
subside within a short time after treatment with the drug begins. Check
with your doctor if your headaches persist or become more intense.
Another common side effect is dizziness. You should not take Ismo if you have had a previous allergic reaction
to it or to other heart medications containing nitrates or nitrites.
Your doctor will probably not prescribe Ismo if you have had a recent
heart attack or congestive heart failure. If the doctor decides that
Ismo is essential, your heart function and blood pressure will need
to be closely monitored to avoid potential side effects. Do not abruptly stop taking Ismo. Follow your doctor's plan for a gradual withdrawal. Since Ismo can cause dizziness, you should be careful while driving, operating machinery, or performing other tasks that demand concentration.Nitrate-type medications such as Ismo may aggravate angina caused by certain heart conditions. Do not try to avoid a headache by changing your dose. If your headache stops, it may mean the drug has lost its effectiveness. Be sure to tell your doctor about any medical conditions you have
before starting Ismo therapy. If Ismo is taken with certain other drugs, the effects of either could be increased, decreased, or altered. Extreme low blood pressure with dizziness and fainting upon standing up may occur if Ismo is taken with the impotence drug Viagra or calcium-blocking blood pressure medications such as Calan, Cardizem, and Procardia. Alcohol may interact with Ismo and cause a swift decrease in blood
pressure, possibly resulting in light-headedness. The effects of Ismo during pregnancy have not been adequately studied. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, tell your doctor immediately. Ismo should be used during pregnancy only if it is clearly needed. It is not known whether Ismo appears in breast milk. If the drug
is essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to stop nursing
until your treatment is finished. ADULTS Any medication taken in excess can have serious consequences. Severe overdosage of Ismo can be fatal. If you suspect an overdose, seek medical help immediately. * Symptoms of Ismo overdose may include: |
