Description
Product Overview
Imdur 60 mg Tablet is a prescription cardiovascular medication used for the prevention and long-term management of angina pectoris (chest pain), coronary artery disease, and chronic ischemic heart disease. It contains a prolonged-release formulation of Isosorbide Mononitrate that helps improve blood flow to the heart, reduce the heart’s workload, and prevent episodes of angina. Imdur is designed for maintenance therapy and is not intended for the immediate relief of acute chest pain attacks.
Active Ingredient
Isosorbide Mononitrate 60 mg (Extended/Prolonged 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, improving oxygen delivery to the heart muscle while reducing the effort required by the heart to pump blood. As a result, the heart requires less oxygen, helping prevent chest pain and improve cardiovascular function.
The prolonged-release formulation provides gradual release of the medication over an extended period, ensuring sustained protection against angina symptoms.
