Imdur (Isosorbide)

Why is Imdur prescribed?

Imdur is used to prevent or treat chest pain (angina). It works by relaxing the blood vessels to the heart, so the blood and oxygen supply to the heart is increased.

Isosorbide mononitrate is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

How should Imdur be used?

Imdur comes as a regular, sublingual, chewable, and extended-release (long-acting) tablet and extended-release (long-acting) capsule to be taken by mouth. The tablet usually is taken every 6 hours. The extended-release tablet usually is taken one or two times a day. The extended-release capsule usually is taken every 8-12 hours. Do not crush, chew, or divide the extended-release tablets or capsules. The sublingual or chewable tablet is used as needed to relieve chest pain that has already started or to prevent pain before activities known to provoke attacks (e.g., climbing stairs, sexual activity, heavy exercise, or being outside in cold weather). The chewable tablet also may be used every 2-3 hours to prevent chest pain. Follow the directions on your label carefully, and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Take Imdur exactly as directed. Do not take more or less of it or take it more often than prescribed by your doctor. Imdur controls chest pain but does not cure it. Continue to take Imdur even if you feel well. Do not stop taking Imdur without talking to your doctor. Stopping the drug abruptly may cause chest pain.

Imdur can lose its effectiveness when used for a long time. This effect is called tolerance. If your angina attacks happen more often, last longer, or are more severe, call your doctor.

If you are using Imdur sublingual or chewable tablets for acute chest pain, you should carry the tablets with you at all times. If you are taking Imdur and your chest pain is not relieved within 5-10 minutes, take another dose. Call for emergency assistance or go to a hospital emergency department if pain persists after you have taken three tablets (at 5-10-minute intervals) and 15-30 minutes have passed.

When an attack occurs, sit down. If you use chewable tablets, chew a tablet thoroughly and swallow it. To use the sublingual tablets, place a tablet under your tongue or between your cheek and gum and allow it to dissolve. Do not swallow the tablet. Try not to swallow saliva too often until the tablet dissolves.

Do not use tablets that are more than 12 months old. Throw away any medication that is outdated or no longer needed. Talk to your pharmacist about the proper disposal of your medication.

What other information should I know?

Keep all appointments with your doctor and the laboratory.

Imdur regular and extended-release tablets or capsules should not be used for acute angina attacks. Continue to use Imdur sublingual or chewable tablets to relieve chest pain that has already started.

If headache continues, ask your doctor if you may take acetaminophen. Your Imdur dose may need to be adjusted. Do not take aspirin or any other medication for headache while using Imdur unless you doctor tells you to.

The tablets may cause a sweet, tingling sensation when placed under your tongue. This sensation is not an accurate indicator of drug strength; the absence of a tingling sensation does not mean that the drug is not working.

Do not let anyone else take your medication. Ask your pharmacist any questions you have.
