Isosorbide Mononitrat 30mg

What is the difference between the two. My husband took the ER, and I think by accident he was prescribed the SA by a different Dr. ## Hello, Shur! How are you and your husband? There is actually no difference, they are both just different abbreviations used to designate that he's been prescribed the time released formulation. The ER stands for extended release and the SA stands for sustained action, so they are different ways of saying the same thing. The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, frequent urination and sore throat. Is there anything else I can help with?

Isosorbide MN ER 30 MG - I took this drug - 1 each day - for 1 1/2 months to relieve the steady pain of Esophageal Spasms and developed severe headaches. Thought at first it was from arthritis in my back so went a chiropractor for 1 month - no help there. Stopped taking this drug for 4 nights and "WOW" No headaches. I will NOT take anymore of this medication. ## Who told you to take it to treat that? Isosorbide Mononitrate is usually used to treat angina pectoris, because it dilates the blood vessels and can reduce the pressure on them. Thus, it is not a pain reliever, nor a muscle relaxant. And headaches are a very common side effect of this medication, due to the very nature of how it works. ## Your headache indeed was because of the medication, had you needed it for a HEART c...

Can I cut isosorbide mononitrate 30mg tabs, made by Torrent, in 1/4's? 1/2 tab dropped my blood pressure to 105/54 which I didn't like. ## It would be best to speak to your doctor, before lowering your dosage further. Are you on any other medications? What condition is being treated? The FDA lists the typical side effects of this medication as possibly including nausea, dizziness, and headache. Did you experience any symptoms when it was that low? ## can somebody please tell me if certain vegitables aggrivate DURIDE after popping tablet any spicy foods or vegitables like capsicums chili etc ## I researched the same question, because the dosage I was taking , though effective, was too intense and left me with a headache.

Can my husband take ibuprofen while taking Isosorbide Mononitrate? He's only be taking it for 2 days now & he's had a headache for approximately a day & a half. He's taken Motrin & Advil which has eased off very little. He's taking 30mg ER tabs. I would appreciate some feedback very much! Thanks in advance! ## Ibuprofen is the the active ingredient in Motrin and Advil, so it is doubtful that it is going to help much more than they did. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, increased risk of bleeding, and stomach irritation. (NDC 0113-0517 for more details.) Headache can be a side effect of Isosorbide. How long has he been taking it? Has he asked his doctor what he can take to alleviate it? When they gave it ...

I am taking Vytorin (Ezetimibe + Simvastatin) 40mg. What reaction will that have on my taking Isosorbide mononitrate ER 30mg? ## Based on my research there are no drug interactions found between The active ingredients in Vytorin and Isosorbide. This does not necessarily mean no interactions exist, but my sources state that every effort has been made to ensure that the information provided is accurate. With that said, because I am not a doctor, the most I can tell you is that from what I've read, these two medications are regarded as being safe to take together and shouldn't present any problems outside of the normal side effects associated with each medication. I hope this helps to answer your question!

I recently had an angiogram in which it was found that I had a minor arterial blockage for which isosorb 30mg was prescribed. This drug worked fine for 30 days, but when refilled by a different pharmacy isosorbide mono 30mg was provided. After the first dose, I had this hard to describe upper respiritory sensation, which kept me awake, and I also developed intense pain in my right hip, leaving me hardly able to walk. The two pills look different - the first is pink and oblong while the second is round and white with a mark across the middle as if intended to be cut in half. Can you answer? ## What are the markings on the tablets? From what you are describing, however, they both were the same thing, which is Isosorbide Mononitrate, it's just that not all pharmacies list the chemical ...

I have been taking isorb mono 30mg for approx 8 days. The biggest side effect is headaches. My question is: What is the result supposed to be to the patient for taking this rx? ## Based on my research, Isosorbide mononitrate is used in the treatment of heart failure, angina pectoris prophylaxis (chest pain), and esophageal spasm. It works by relaxing the blood vessels to the heart, so the blood and oxygen supply to the heart is increased.

pill red color R30 ## Sorry, I cannot confirm that from your pill description, I cannot find a listing for anything with R 30 on it. However, if you are certain of what it is, here is the monograph listing for this medication: Isosorbide Mononitrate ## I have taken this medicine for almost 5 years, whenever I stopped taking it (couldnt afford it)and started taking it again, I would get the terrible headaches until my body got used to it once again. After not taking it for almost six months, I got it refilled once again. The headaches arent there, the pill is different and I am wondering if I actully got Isosorb Mono like the bottle says. It is now a white pill, they were always red and it says Ku128 on it. ## can I break iosorb 30 tablets in two and take 1/2 at a time to reduce the side...

My wife has been taking "isosorb mono er 30mg tab wes" for a couple years. The pharmacy changed the tab to "Isosorb Mono Er 30mg Tab tor". The tablets have a different appearance. Are there any concerns we should have changing to this new tablet? ## No, all that shows is that they have been manufactured by a different company, but it is the same medication, in the same dosage. The new ones with the tor have been manufactured by Torrent Pharmaceuticals. Learn more Isosorbide Mononitrate details here. Are there any other questions?

Does this pill contain FD&C yellow 5 or blue 1 dye? These dyes cause me to itch. They are a by-product of coal tar which I'm allergic to. ## Well, Isosorbide Mononitrate is a generic, so it is manufactured by several different companies and they don't all have to use the same inactive ingredients. Thus, I can't actually answer your question, without having more information. Are there any markings on them? Or is there a manufactured listed on the bottle by your pharmacy?

My Dr. put me on 30mg of isosorb mono er after a heart cath for angina. I developed a headache every day and my angina got worse each day. By the third day the angina was worse than before the cath. I extended the hours between doses til I went off completely and went back to taking l-argine from pantisin. Angina is all gone ## Hi Judith, Based on my research, the side effects of Isosorbide Mononitrate include but are not limited to: abnormal heart sound, heart murmur, headache, chest pain or discomfort, and chest tightness or heaviness.

this pill just has R 713 marked on one side its oblong and white and has a split in the middle like a deep scoring. its not RX 713 just R 713 and the R looks almost like a P ## Hello, Thanks for providing the detailed description. I was able to locate the pill with these markings to be an extended release Isosorbide Mononitrate (30mg), oral tablet. The "R" that curves around like a "P" at the top is actually identified as a logo and not a letter; although I'm not exactly sure which company logo this figure represents. This medication is used in the treatment of heart failure, angina pectoris prophylaxis, and esophageal spasm.

I have been taking this product for a number of years, and the past 2 years I have extreme bouts of total body itching(like chiggers), but you see nothing!! The only thing that helps is turning a fan on high over the body or if cold outside then go outside. I have noticed the past month or so with increased resistance training(weights) or the treadmill it is getting a lot more frequent. Gotten to the point I don't know what I can do without triggering it.
