Isordil 5 MG Description

Isordil 5 Sublingual tablet is a medication used to manage angina, a chest pain that can spread to the neck, shoulders and arms. It contains isosorbide dinitrate as its active ingredient, which relaxes the heart muscles, reducing pressure and improving blood and oxygen supply.

Isordil 5 Sublingual tablet should be taken as directed by a doctor and in prescribed doses. It is important not to stop taking the medicine on its own, as abrupt stopping may worsen health. Alcohol should be avoided, as their combination may cause a severe drop in blood pressure.
