What is Isordil (isosorbide dinitrate)?

Isordil (isosorbide dinitrate) is a drug from the group of organic nitrates for oral use. Isosorbide dinitrate has antianginal, vasodilating, spasmolytic effect. This is an effective agent used for the treatment and prevention of coronary heart disease, as well as for the relief of angina attacks.

Isordil helps expand the blood vessels and reduce afterload on the heart. The drug leads to a reduction of oxygen demand. Isordil stimulates the redistribution of blood flow and helps relax vascular smooth muscle.

Isordil is rapidly absorbed (up to 60%). The effect lasts for 15-120 minutes.

Isordil is prescribed for many heart diseases. The drug is used for the prevention of strokes (including the post-infarct phase); for the treatment of chronic congestive heart failure (in conjunction with diuretics and cardiac glycosides); in acute left ventricular failure. Sometimes Isordil is prescribed for endarteritis (inflammation of the inner lining of the arteries) and peripheral artery disease.
