Imdur 30 mg Tablet

Imdur 30 mg Tablet contains 30 mg of isosorbide mononitrate in each tablet. It belongs to the nitrate anti-anginal class and is used to help prevent chest pain (angina pectoris) in people with coronary artery disease. Imdur 30 mg Tablet is not for sudden chest pain relief; it is a preventive medicine taken on a schedule prescribed by a doctor. This 30 mg tablet is the specific lower-strength tablet in the Imdur line sold here, made by AstraZeneca, India.

How it works: Isosorbide mononitrate in Imdur 30 mg Tablet relaxes and widens blood vessels, which lowers the heart's workload and helps blood flow more easily to the heart muscle. As a tablet, it is taken by mouth and releases medicine in a way that supports prevention of angina attacks rather than quick relief of pain.

Imdur 30 mg Tablet is a lower-strength option compared with Imdur 60 mg Tablet, so it may be chosen when a doctor wants a gentler starting dose or needs to adjust treatment more cautiously. Because it is a 30 mg tablet, it is often used for people who need maintenance therapy but do not yet need the higher 60 mg strength. The way it feels and how long it works are the same nitrate-type effects, but the dose is smaller and usually easier to titrate.

• Maintenance treatment for chest pain related to coronary artery disease

Each Imdur 30 mg Tablet provides 30 mg of isosorbide mononitrate. The exact dosing frequency is decided by the doctor; this strength may be taken once daily or on another schedule depending on the prescribing plan and the patient's angina control. Do not exceed the daily amount your doctor recommends, because nitrate dosing must be individualized.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
