Isonorm-30 SR Tablet contains Isosorbide Mononitrate (30 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

• Nitric Oxide Release: Isosorbide mononitrate releases nitric oxide within your body. Nitric oxide is a natural chemical that relaxes and widens your blood vessels.

• Activation of Guanylate Cyclase: The released nitric oxide actives an enzyme called guanylate cyclase. This enzyme increases the production of another substance called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP).

• Vascular Smooth Muscle Relaxation: The increased cGMP relaxes vascular smooth muscle cells in your blood vessels, causing them to widen.

• Vasodilation and Reduced Cardiac Workload: As a result of the relaxation and widening of blood vessels, there's improved blood flow to the heart muscle which decreases the workload on your heart.

• Store Isonorm-30 SR Tablet at room temperature, ideally below 30°C.

• Keep it in the original packaging to protect it from light and moisture.

• Always keep this medication out of reach of children.

• Ensure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

• Regular physical activity can help manage angina. Include gentle exercises like walking or swimming in your daily routine, but remember to avoid overexertion as it may trigger angina attacks.

• Try to maintain a heart-healthy diet. This includes eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean proteins, and limiting foods high in saturated fats, cholesterol, and sodium. This can help manage coronary artery disease and reduce the frequency of angina attacks. Always consult your doctor before making significant changes to your diet or exercise regimen.
