For long-term and/or emergency treatment of angina pectoris.
Composition: Isosorbide dinitrate 20 mg per tablet, with prolonged action.
Indications: Angina pectoris, especially the so-called “effort angina”; prevention and subsequent treatment of myocardial infarction. Angina pectoris vasomotorica, a form induced by central nervous disorder, is not affected.
Contra-indication: Glaucoma.
Dosage: One tablet
of Isoket retard to be taken with water and without chewing in the morning
after breakfast, and one in the evening before retiring; this will protect the
patient from attacks of angina pectoris during both the day and the night. If
an attack does occur, half a tablet should be chewed and then swallowed,
whereby an immediate action is produced.
Note: No
side-effects are to be expected, but some patients may develop the well-known
“nitrate headache” which in itself is harmless. In such instances, it is
recommended that the dosage be reduced. Because this nitrate effect is subject
to tachyphylaxis, the Isoket retard medication need not be interrupted.
Security for angina pectoris patients for 8-10 hours. In cases of extreme
severity, immediate relief can be obtained by chewing Isoket retard.
Packings of 60 tablets.
