Use: Prolonged Release Isosorbide is primarily used to prevent and treat angina, which is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. It is also used for the treatment of congestive heart failure.

Mechanism of Action: Prolonged Release Isosorbide belongs to the class of drugs known as nitrates. It works by relaxing and dilating the blood vessels, allowing more oxygen-rich blood to reach the heart muscle. This reduces the workload of the heart and relieves chest pain associated with angina.

In rare cases, serious allergic reactions may occur, characterized by rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or difficulty breathing. If any of these symptoms occur, immediate medical attention should be sought.

It is important for patients to follow the prescribed dosage and not to exceed it. Abruptly stopping the medication may worsen symptoms, so it is advised to consult a healthcare professional before discontinuing its use.
