Imdur (active ingredient: isosorbide mononitrate) is a prescription medication used to help prevent episodes of angina (chest pain) caused by coronary artery disease (CAD).

Imdur is not used to treat a sudden angina attack that has already started. Instead, it is taken regularly to help reduce how often angina occurs.

Prevention of Angina (Chest Pain)

Angina is chest pain or discomfort that occurs when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood. It is most often caused by coronary artery disease, a condition in which the arteries that supply blood to the heart become narrowed or blocked.

Symptoms of angina may include:

  • Chest pain, pressure, tightness, or squeezing.
  • Pain that may spread to the shoulders, arms, neck, jaw, or back.
  • Shortness of breath.
  • Fatigue during physical activity or emotional stress.

By helping prevent angina attacks, Imdur can improve your ability to perform everyday activities with less chest discomfort.

How Does Imdur Work?

Imdur belongs to a group of medications called nitrates.

It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels (vasodilation) throughout the body. This allows blood to flow more easily and reduces the amount of work the heart has to do.

As a result, Imdur helps:

  • Increase the supply of oxygen-rich blood to the heart.
  • Reduce the heart’s workload.
  • Decrease the frequency of angina attacks.
  • Improve exercise tolerance and daily activity in people with coronary artery disease.

Imdur is designed to prevent angina, not relieve chest pain that has already begun. If you experience sudden chest pain, use your fast-acting nitroglycerin (if prescribed) and seek immediate medical attention if the pain does not improve as directed by your healthcare provider.

For the best results, take Imdur exactly as prescribed, even if you are feeling well. Regular use helps maintain its protective effect against angina attacks.

Imdur is available as an extended-release tablet that should be taken once daily, exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

Take your dose at the same time each day to help maintain a consistent level of medication in your body.

Swallow the tablet whole with about half a glass of water (4 ounces/120 mL). If your tablet has a score line, you may split it only if your healthcare provider or pharmacist instructs you to do so. Do not crush or chew the tablet, as this can release the medication too quickly and increase the risk of side effects.

Your healthcare provider will determine the dose that is right for you based on your condition, how well the medication works, and any side effects you may experience.

Recommended Dosages

The usual starting dose of Imdur is:

  • 30 mg by mouth once daily, taken as one 30 mg tablet or one-half of a scored 60 mg tablet.

In some cases, your healthcare provider may recommend a starting dose of:

  • 60 mg by mouth once daily.

Your dose may be adjusted over time depending on your response to treatment and how well you tolerate the medication.

Important Tips

  • Take Imdur once a day at the same time each day.
  • Swallow the extended-release tablet whole or split it only if instructed by your healthcare provider or pharmacist.
  • Do not crush or chew the tablet.
  • Continue taking Imdur even if you are feeling well. It is used to prevent angina (chest pain) and works best when taken regularly.
  • Do not stop taking Imdur suddenly without consulting your healthcare provider, as this may increase your risk of angina attacks.
  • Remember that Imdur is not intended to relieve sudden chest pain. If you experience an acute angina attack, use your fast-acting nitroglycerin (if prescribed) and seek medical attention if your symptoms do not improve.

Before taking Imdur, tell your healthcare provider about your complete medical history, including any allergies, medical conditions, and all medications you are taking. This helps ensure the medication is safe and appropriate for you.

Allergic Reactions

Do not take Imdur if you are allergic to isosorbide mononitrate, isosorbide dinitrate, nitroglycerin, or any other nitrate medication.

Seek emergency medical attention immediately if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, including:

  • Rash or hives.
  • Severe itching.
  • Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat.
  • Difficulty breathing or swallowing.

Medical Conditions

Tell your healthcare provider before taking Imdur if you have or have ever had:

  • Low blood pressure (hypotension).
  • Severe anemia.
  • Closed-angle glaucoma.
  • Heart failure or other heart conditions.
  • Hypothyroidism.
  • Low blood volume (hypovolemia).
  • Liver disease.
  • Kidney disease.

These conditions may affect whether Imdur is appropriate for you or require closer monitoring during treatment.

Drug Interactions

Imdur may interact with several medications and cause dangerously low blood pressure.

Do not take Imdur with medications used to treat erectile dysfunction or pulmonary arterial hypertension, including:

  • Sildenafil (Viagra®).
  • Tadalafil (Cialis®).
  • Vardenafil (Levitra®).
  • Avanafil (Stendra®).
  • Riociguat (Adempas®).

Also tell your healthcare provider if you take:

  • Other nitrate medications.
  • Blood pressure medications.
  • Certain antibiotics.
  • Any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, or herbal supplements.

Your healthcare provider can check for potential drug interactions before you begin treatment.

Low Blood Pressure and Dizziness

Imdur may lower your blood pressure, especially when you first start taking it or when your dose is increased.

You may experience:

  • Dizziness.
  • Lightheadedness.
  • Fainting, especially when standing up quickly.

To reduce the risk of falls, rise slowly from a sitting or lying position.

Until you know how Imdur affects you, do not drive, operate machinery, or perform activities that require alertness.

Liver and Kidney Disease

If you have liver disease or kidney disease, tell your healthcare provider before starting Imdur. You may require closer monitoring during treatment.

Important Reminder

Imdur is designed to prevent angina (chest pain) and should be taken regularly as prescribed. It is not intended to treat a sudden angina attack. If you develop sudden chest pain, follow your healthcare provider’s instructions for using your fast-acting nitroglycerin and seek emergency medical attention if your symptoms do not improve.

When is the best time to take Imdur?

Imdur is usually taken once daily in the morning, unless your healthcare provider instructs you otherwise. Try to take it at the same time every day. Imdur is designed to provide a daily nitrate-free interval, which helps prevent your body from becoming less responsive to the medication over time.

Should I take Imdur with food?

Follow your healthcare provider’s instructions on how to take Imdur. It is generally recommended to take the extended-release tablet on an empty stomach, at least 30 minutes before a meal or 2 hours after eating, unless your healthcare provider advises otherwise. Swallow the tablet whole with water and take it at the same time each day.

Can I stop taking Imdur if I feel better?

No. Do not stop taking Imdur without talking to your healthcare provider first. Stopping the medication suddenly may increase your risk of angina (chest pain). Continue taking Imdur regularly, even if you feel well, as it is used to help prevent angina attacks, not to treat chest pain once it has started.

How long does Imdur take to work?

The extended-release form of Imdur usually begins to work within about 30 minutes after you take it. Its effects can last for up to 17 hours, helping to prevent angina throughout the day. Because Imdur is intended to prevent chest pain, it should be taken every day as prescribed rather than only when symptoms occur.
