What Is Isosorbide Dinitrate 10 mg?

Isosorbide dinitrate is a long-acting nitrate medication that widens (dilates) blood vessels, reducing the heart's workload and improving blood flow. It is FDA-approved to prevent angina pectoris — chest pain caused by coronary artery disease. Because its onset is not fast enough, it is not used to stop an angina attack that has already started. The 10 mg tablet is taken by mouth on a schedule set by your prescriber, usually with a daily nitrate-free interval to prevent tolerance.

What Does Isosorbide Dinitrate 10 mg Treat?

Prevention of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease
Long-term management of chronic stable angina
Reducing the frequency of angina episodes
Adjunctive treatment of heart failure (off-label, per prescriber)
Improving exercise tolerance in patients with angina

Isosorbide Dinitrate 10 mg Dosage

Starting: 5–20 mg by mouth 2–3 times daily.
Maintenance: 10–40 mg by mouth 2–3 times daily.
Allow a daily nitrate-free interval of at least 14 hours to minimize tolerance.

Your prescriber will determine the dose and duration that are right for you. Always follow the directions on your prescription label.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is isosorbide dinitrate used for?

Isosorbide dinitrate is a nitrate vasodilator FDA-approved to prevent angina (chest pain) caused by coronary artery disease. It relaxes blood vessels so the heart needs less oxygen. It is not intended to stop an angina attack that has already started.

Do I need a prescription for isosorbide dinitrate?

Yes. Isosorbide dinitrate is a prescription-only medication in the U.S. A licensed provider must review your health history and issue or verify a valid prescription before our pharmacy can dispense it.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you place your order, a licensed provider or pharmacist reviews your prescription and medical information. Once approved, your medication ships from our licensed U.S. pharmacy directly to your address.

Is isosorbide dinitrate the same as Isordil?

Yes. Isordil is the brand name for isosorbide dinitrate. Generic isosorbide dinitrate contains the same active ingredient and is held to the same FDA standards.

Can I take isosorbide dinitrate with sildenafil (Viagra)?

No. Combining nitrates like isosorbide dinitrate with PDE-5 inhibitors such as sildenafil, tadalafil, or vardenafil can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure. Tell your prescriber about all medications you take.

What are the most common side effects?

Headache, dizziness, flushing, and lightheadedness are the most common side effects, especially when starting treatment. Headaches often lessen over time; contact your provider if side effects are severe or persistent.

Can isosorbide dinitrate stop a chest pain attack?

No. Its onset of action is too slow to relieve an acute angina episode. Faster-acting nitrates like sublingual nitroglycerin are used for acute attacks — ask your prescriber what to use in an emergency.
