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.
