Isosorbide dinitrate (ISDN) is 1,4:3,6-dianhydro-D-glucitol 2,5-dinitrate, an organic nitrate whose structural formula is:
Isosorbide dinitrate is a white, crystalline, odorless compound which is stable in air and in solution,has a melting point of 70°C and has an optical rotation of +134° (c=1.0, alcohol, 20°C). Isosorbidedinitrate is freely soluble in organic solvents such as acetone, alcohol, and, but is only sparingly soluble in water.
Each isosorbide dinitrate tablet contains 30 mg of ISDN.
Inactive ingredients are as follows: Ammonium Phosphate Dibasic, Colloidal Silicon Dioxide, FD&C Blue No. 1 Aluminum Lake, Lactose Monohydrate, Magnesium Stearate and Microcrystalline Cellulose.[1]
