Terapeutické indikace:

Isosorbide mononitrate tablets are indicated for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease. The onset of action of oral isosorbide mononitrate is not sufficiently rapid for this product to be useful in aborting an acute anginal episode. Allergic reactions to organic nitrates are extremely rare, but they do occur. Isosorbide mononitrate is contraindicated in patients who are allergic to it.

DESCRIPTION
Isosorbide mononitrate (diluted), USP, an organic nitrate, is a
vasodilator with effects on both arteries
and veins. The molecular formula is C H NO and the molecular weight is
191.14. The chemical name
for isosorbide mononitrate is 1,4:3,6-Dianhydro-D-glucitol 5-nitrate
and the compound has the
following structural formula:
Isosorbide mononitrate tablets, USP, for oral administration, contain
10 mg or 20 mg of isosorbide
mononitrate (diluted), USP. In addition, each tablet contains the
following inactive ingredients: calcium
stearate, colloidal silicon dioxide, corn starch, FD&C Blue #1HT
Aluminum Lake, lactose
monohydrate, microcrystalline cellulose, and talc.
CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Isosorbide mononitrate is the major active metabolite of isosorbide
dinitrate (ISDN), and most of the
clinical activity of the dinitrate is attributable to the mononitrate.
The principal pharmacological action of isosorbide mononitrate is
relaxation of vascular smooth
muscle and consequent dilatation of peripheral arteries and veins,
especially the latter. Dilatation of the
veins promotes peripheral pooling of blood and decreases venous return
to the heart, thereby reducing
left ventricular end-diastolic pressure and pulmonary capillary wedge
pressure (preload). Arteriolar
relaxation reduces systemic vascular resistance, systolic arterial
pressure, and mean arterial pressure
(afterload). Dilatation of the coronary arteries also occurs. The
relative importance of preload
reduction, afterload reduction and coronary dilatation remains
undefined.
PHARMACODYNAMICS: Dosing regimens for most chronically used drugs are
designed to provide plasma
concentrations that are continuously greater than a minimally
effective concentration. This strategy is
inappropriate for organic nitrates. Several well-controlled clinical
trials have used exercise testing
