Overview

Isosorbide dinitrate is an anti-anginal nitrate that is FDA approved for the {{{indicationType}}} of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease. Common adverse reactions include hypotension, lightheadedness, and headache.

Adult Indications and Dosage

FDA-Labeled Indications and Dosage (Adult)

Prophylaxis of Angina Pectoris

• Isosorbide dinitrate are indicated for the prevention of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease. The onset of action of immediate-release oral isosorbide dinitrate is not sufficiently rapid for this product to be useful in aborting an acute anginal episode.

• Dosing Information

• Initial Dosage

• 5–20 mg PO bid–tid

• Maintenance Dosage

• 10–40 mg PO bid–tid

• A daily dose-free interval of at least 14 hours is advisable to minimize tolerance. The optimal interval will vary with the individual patient, dose and regimen.
• Multiple-dose studies with ISDN and other nitrates have shown that maintenance of continuous 24-hour plasma levels results in refractory tolerance. Every dosing regimen for Isordil Titradose tablets must provide a daily dose-free interval to minimize the development of this tolerance. With immediate-release ISDN, it appears that one daily dose-free interval must be at least 14 hours long.
• The effects of the second and later doses have been smaller and shorter-lasting than the effects of the first.
• Large controlled studies with other nitrates suggest that no dosing regimen with Isordil Titradose tablets should be expected to provide more than about 12 hours of continuous anti-anginal efficacy per day.
