Description

Active Ingredient: This particular medication is composed of Isosorbide Dinitrate as the main active component. This active component is the dinitrate salt form of isosorbide that shows vasodilator activity. It acts by relaxing the vascular smooth muscle by the formation of the free radical nitric oxide that is identical to the endothelium-derived relaxing factor. This nitric oxide activates guanylyl cyclase so as to increase the synthesis of cGMP within a smooth muscle. It leads to dephosphorylation of light chain myosin and relaxation of peripheral arteries and veins. It also relaxes coronary arteries to increase blood circulation through the ischemic area.

Indications: Given effective medication is indicated to prevent chest pain in people with a certain heart condition like coronary artery disease. Isordil belongs to a class of drugs called nitrates that relaxes and widens blood vessels so blood can flow more easily to the heart.
