Teva Isordil 10mg (Isosorbide Dinitrate) 50 Tablets
Teva Isordil 10mg is a generic version of Isosorbide Dinitrate, a potent nitrate vasodilator. It is widely used in Nigeria for managing heart conditions. By relaxing and widening blood vessels, it improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to the heart, which reduces the workload on the cardiac muscle.
What is Teva Isordil 10mg Used For?
This medication is primarily prescribed for the prevention (prophylaxis) of angina pectoris (chest pain) caused by coronary artery disease. Regular use helps to reduce both the frequency and severity of angina attacks. It may also be used as part of a treatment plan for congestive heart failure.
Dosage and How to Use Isordil 10mg
Teva Isordil 10mg tablets are intended for oral administration. The typical dosage ranges from 10mg to 40mg, taken two to three times daily, or as directed by your healthcare provider.
Important Note: These 10mg tablets are for maintenance therapy and are not for the immediate relief of an acute angina attack. For sudden chest pain, use a fast-acting sublingual nitrate as prescribed by your doctor.
