Dinitra Isosorbide Dinitrate 10 Mg 60 Tablets

Dinitra Isosorbide Dinitrate 10 Mg 60 Tablets

Description:

Dinitra Isosorbide Dinitrate 10 mg is a prescription oral medication in tablet form used for the prevention and long-term management of angina pectoris (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease. It belongs to the nitrate class of vasodilator medicines and works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, especially veins, to reduce the heart's workload and improve blood flow to the heart muscle. Manufactured by Sanofi, this product is intended for adult patients under medical supervision as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular treatment plan.

Indications:

• Prevention and long-term management of chronic stable angina pectoris (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease.
• Reduction in frequency and severity of angina attacks in patients with ischemic heart disease.
• Adjunct therapy in patients with coronary artery disease where nitrate therapy is indicated, as prescribed by a cardiologist or physician.
• Relief of symptoms such as pressure, tightness, or discomfort in the chest associated with exertional or stress-related angina, when used regularly as directed (not for immediate relief of acute attacks).

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Isosorbide dinitrate – 10 mg per tablet.
• Excipients: The full list of inactive ingredients (tablet core and coating components such as fillers, binders, disintegrants, and colorants) is not specified in the available information (For full ingredient information, please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website.). Please refer to the official package leaflet for complete excipient details.

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use only as prescribed by your doctor. Do not change the dose or stop treatment without medical advice.
• Typical adult dosing for prophylaxis of angina is divided doses throughout the day (for example 10 mg 2–3 times daily), but the exact dose, frequency, and schedule must be individualized by the prescribing physician.
• Tablets are taken orally with a glass of water, with or without food, at the same times each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
• Your doctor may recommend a dosing schedule that includes a “nitrate-free” interval each day to reduce the risk of tolerance (reduced effect over time).
• Do not crush or chew unless your doctor or pharmacist specifically instructs you to do so; swallow tablets whole.
• This medicine is not suitable for the immediate relief of acute angina attacks; a fast-acting nitrate (such as sublingual nitroglycerin) is usually used for acute episodes as directed by your doctor.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed tablet.
• Regular monitoring of blood pressure, heart rate, and angina symptoms is recommended during treatment.

Clinical Benefits:

• Helps prevent and reduce the frequency of angina pectoris attacks by improving blood flow to the heart muscle.
• Decreases the workload and oxygen demand of the heart through venous and arterial vasodilation.
• May improve exercise tolerance and reduce chest pain during physical exertion when used regularly as prescribed.
• Supports overall management of chronic ischemic heart disease as part of a comprehensive cardiovascular treatment plan under medical supervision.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under the supervision of a healthcare professional. This is a prescription cardiovascular medicine and is not for self-medication.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to isosorbide dinitrate, other organic nitrates, or any component of the formulation.
• Contraindicated in patients taking phosphodiesterase type 5 (PDE5) inhibitors for erectile dysfunction or pulmonary hypertension (such as sildenafil, tadalafil, vardenafil) due to the risk of severe, potentially life-threatening hypotension.
• Contraindicated in acute circulatory failure, shock, severe hypotension, marked anemia, or increased intracranial pressure unless specifically directed by a specialist.
• Use with caution in patients with low blood pressure, volume depletion, severe aortic or mitral valve stenosis, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, or other serious heart conditions.
• May cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, especially when standing up quickly. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or performing tasks that require alertness until you know how the medicine affects you.
• Avoid alcohol while taking this medication, as it can enhance the blood pressure–lowering effects and increase dizziness or fainting.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant or planning pregnancy. Use in pregnancy and breastfeeding should be based on a careful risk–benefit assessment by the physician.
• Inform your doctor about all other medicines you are taking, including blood pressure medications, diuretics, antidepressants, and any over-the-counter or herbal products, to avoid dangerous interactions.
• Not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease without appropriate medical supervision.
• Keep out of reach of children.

Side Effects:

• Common side effects may include headache (often throbbing), flushing, dizziness, lightheadedness, weakness, and nausea, especially at the start of treatment. Headaches are usually dose-related and may lessen with continued use.
• Low blood pressure (hypotension), orthostatic hypotension (drop in blood pressure when standing), rapid heartbeat (tachycardia), or palpitations may occur.
• Less common side effects can include vomiting, skin rash, or allergic reactions.
• Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe dizziness or fainting, severe or persistent headache, chest pain that worsens or does not improve, difficulty breathing, swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat, or signs of a severe allergic reaction.
• Report any unusual or persistent symptoms to your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
