In brief…
Isosorbide mononitrate is a long-acting nitrate taken daily to prevent angina attacks. While GTN spray handles the emergencies, isosorbide mononitrate works in the background to keep your arteries open and your chest pain-free.

What you need to know
Prevention of angina attacks. Not for acute relief -- that's what your GTN spray is for.
Like GTN, isosorbide mononitrate releases nitric oxide, widening blood vessels and improving blood flow to the heart. The modified-release version provides consistent protection throughout the day.
Adults with stable angina who need preventive treatment beyond beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers. Not suitable with PDE5 inhibitors (ED medications).
Order online and we review your request. A prescriber checks your consultation form for clinical appropriateness and contacts you if anything else is needed. Once approved, your medication is dispensed and delivered to your door.
