What other drugs will affect isosorbide mononitrate?
Do not use sildenafil (Viagra), a drug used to treat impotence, while taking isosorbide mononitrate. The combination could cause severe or life-threatening low blood pressure.
Before taking isosorbide mononitrate, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines:
- dihydroergotamine (D.H.E. 45); or
- any other heart medicines, especially those used to treat high blood pressure or irregular heartbeats.
You may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring during your treatment if you are taking any of the medicines listed above.
Do not drink alcohol. Like
isosorbide mononitrate, alcohol widens your blood vessels, and it can cause very low blood pressure, dizziness, and drowsiness. If you combine
isosorbide mononitrate and alcohol, you could endanger yourself or others.
Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with
isosorbide mononitrate or affect your condition. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines.
