Description
Product Overview
Monotrate SR 30 mg Tablet is a prescription cardiovascular medication used for the prevention and long-term management of angina pectoris (chest pain), coronary artery disease, ischemic heart disease, and other heart conditions associated with reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. It contains a sustained-release formulation that provides prolonged protection against angina attacks by improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart.
Monotrate SR is intended for regular preventive treatment and is not used for the immediate relief of acute chest pain attacks.
Active Ingredient
Isosorbide Mononitrate 30 mg (Sustained Release)
Isosorbide Mononitrate belongs to a class of medicines known as Nitrate Vasodilators.
How It Works
Isosorbide Mononitrate works by relaxing and widening blood vessels throughout the body. This allows blood to flow more easily, improves oxygen delivery to the heart muscle, and reduces the effort required by the heart to pump blood. As a result, the heart requires less oxygen, helping prevent episodes of angina and improving cardiovascular performance.
The sustained-release (SR) formulation ensures gradual release of the medication for extended symptom control.
