Ismo 10 Tablet

Description

Ismo 10 Tablet is a medicine used in the management of angina pectoris (chest pain due to heart disease) and other heart-related conditions caused by reduced blood supply to the heart muscle. It belongs to the class of drugs known as nitrates, which work by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing more blood and oxygen to reach the heart. This helps in preventing episodes of chest pain and improves overall cardiac function.

How It Works

Isosorbide Mononitrate releases nitric oxide in the body, which relaxes smooth muscles in blood vessels. This vasodilation leads to reduced preload and afterload, lowering the workload of the heart and improving blood and oxygen delivery to cardiac tissues.
