Isosorbide dinitrate

Isosorbide dinitrate is a medication used to prevent and treat chest pain (angina) caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, which makes it easier for blood to reach the heart muscle and reduces its workload. This helps decrease the frequency and severity of chest pain episodes. It’s typically taken orally and regulated by a healthcare provider to ensure proper use and avoid side effects like headaches or low blood pressure. Isosorbide dinitrate plays a key role in managing heart conditions related to angina.
