Frequently asked questions FOR Ecosmin
Isosorbide Mononitrate
Q. Does Isosorbide Mononitrate lower BP?
Yes, Isosorbide Mononitrate 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. 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. Does Isosorbide Mononitrate affect heart rate?
Yes, Isosorbide Mononitrate may affect the heart rate. Isosorbide Mononitrate causes a decrease in blood pressure. This decrease in blood pressure further causes a decrease in the heart rate (bradycardia). In some cases, it may also cause an increase in the heart rate (tachycardia). Consult your doctor in case you do not feel well after taking this medicine or if you notice a change in your heart rate.
Q. Can Isosorbide Mononitrate 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. If taking it twice a day, maintain a gap of 7 hours between the two doses. This helps decrease the chances of Isosorbide Mononitrate becoming ineffective (tolerance) after some time.
