Imdur 
Isosorbide-5-mononitrate
Tablets 30 mg & 60 mg
Qualitative and Quantitative Composition
One prolonged release tablet contains: isosorbide mononitrate 30 mg or 60 mg.
For excipients see List of excipients.
Pharmaceutical Form
Prolonged release tablet
30 mg: Pink, oval with score, marked A/II, 7x13 mm.
60 mg: Pale yellow, oval with score, marked A/ID, 7 x 13 mm.
Therapeutic indications
Prophylactic treatment of angina pectoris.
Posology and method of administration
Imdur is intended for prophylactic treatment. The dosage is individual and must be titrated
according to clinical response. Imdur prolonged release tablets are taken once daily, in the
morning.
When initiating treatment, in order to avoid headache, 30 mg may be given for the first 2-4
days.
Normal dosage: 60 mg daily. If necessary the dose may be increased to 120 mg daily.
There is a risk of tolerance development with nitrate therapy. It is therefore important that
Imdur is taken once daily in order to obtain intervals with low nitrate concentrations and thus
reduce the risk of tolerance development.
If necessary, Imdur may be combined with beta-adrenoreceptor blockers and calcium
antagonists.
Administration
The tablets for the lower strengths, 30 and 60 mg, are dividable. The whole or divided tablet
should not be chewed or crushed and should be swallowed together with ½ glass of fluid.
Contraindications
Shock, hypotension, constrictive cardiomyopathy, constrictive pericarditis and pericardial
tamponade.
Hypersensitivity to the active ingredient or any excipients. Concomitant treatment with
Phospodiesterase type 5 Inhibitors (e.g. sildenafil).
