How does the Drug work
◉Isosorbide dinitrate is a medication that is used to prevent and treat chest pain (angina) caused by coronary artery disease. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels in the body, which reduces the workload on the heart and improves blood flow to the heart and other organs.
◉ Specifically, isosorbide dinitrate is converted into nitric oxide (NO) in the body, which then activates an enzyme called guanylate cyclase. This enzyme produces a substance called cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP), which causes the smooth muscles in the blood vessels to relax and widen. This allows more blood to flow through the vessels, which reduces the workload on the heart and relieves chest pain.
◉ Isosorbide dinitrate is typically taken by mouth in tablet form, and the usual dose for angina is 5 to 20 milligrams (mg) every 6 hours as needed. However, the specific dose and frequency of use may vary depending on individual circumstances and the severity of the condition. It is important to follow the instructions of a healthcare provider when taking this medication.
