1. What Imdur is and what it is used for
Imdur contains a medicine called isosorbide mononitrate. This belongs to a group of medicines called ‘nitrates'.
• It is used to prevent chest pain (angina).
• It works by making the blood vessels relax and widen. This makes it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body.
The tablets are made so that they release the medicine slowly over a number of hours.
Do not take Imdur if:
• You are allergic (hypersensitive) to isosorbide mononitrate or any of the other ingredients of Imdur (listed in Section 6: Further information).
• You have ever had a stroke.
• You have very low blood pressure.
• You have severe anaemia.
• You have a heart problem called ‘cardiomyopathy' or ‘pericarditis' or you have narrow heart valves.
• You are taking sildenafil or similar medicines called Phosphodiesterase Type 5 inhibitors, (used for male impotence). See the section "Taking other medicines”.
Do not take Imdur if any of the above apply to you. If you are not sure, talk to your doctor or pharmacist before taking Imdur.
