Frequently asked questions
When should I take Monotrate 20?
Usually twice a day with an uneven gap – for example on waking and again in the early afternoon. The long nitrate-free gap overnight stops the body getting used to the medicine. Follow the timing your cardiologist gave.
Can I take Monotrate 20 during a chest pain attack?
No. Isosorbide mononitrate prevents attacks; it is too slow to stop one. Use your under-the-tongue nitroglycerin or sorbitrate and seek emergency help if pain lasts more than a few minutes.
Can I take Viagra with Monotrate 20?
No. Sildenafil, tadalafil and similar tablets with any nitrate can cause a dangerous collapse in blood pressure. Tell your doctor about all medicines before using them.
Why do I get a headache on Ismo 20?
Headache is the commonest effect because nitrates widen blood vessels. It usually settles in 1 to 2 weeks; paracetamol helps. Do not stop the tablet without your doctor.
