ISOMON 20 belongs
to a class of drugs known as nitrates or vasodilators. It works by releasing
nitric oxide in the body, which relaxes and widens the peripheral arteries and
veins throughout the body. This dilation allows blood to flow more easily to
the heart muscle, which in turn reduces the heart's workload and its need for
oxygen.
Benefits of ISOMON 20:
The
primary benefit of Isomon 20 is to manage and prevent heart-related chest
pain.
Ø Angina (heart-related chest pain): It
helps ease chest discomfort and reduces the frequency of angina attacks by
improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart.
Ø Heart Failure: It
helps manage symptoms like fatigue and breathlessness by easing the workload on
the heart.
Ø Coronary Artery Disease: It
helps manage symptoms associated with narrowed or blocked heart arteries.
Ø Hypertensive Emergency (in some cases): It
can help lower blood pressure quickly in severe situations.
