What Is Isosorbide Dinitrate 20mg?
Isosorbide dinitrate is a prescription nitrate medication sold under the brand name Isordil. It is used to prevent episodes of angina, the chest pain that occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygen due to coronary artery disease. The tablet relaxes and widens blood vessels, which lowers the heart's workload and improves blood flow. Because its onset is not fast enough, it is not intended to stop an angina attack that has already started.
