Imdur 30 mg tablets contain the active ingredient Isosorbide mononitrate, which belongs to a group of drugs known as organic nitrates. These medications work by widening the blood vessels in your heart to allow more blood to flow to areas that need it. Imdur 30 mg is used to prevent angina pectoris. Patients with angina usually feel tight pain in the chest, neck, or arm. The pain originates from the heart muscle and is a sign that a part of it is not getting sufficient oxygen supply to function well. Isosorbide mononitrate can also be given to people with congestive heart failure. A person may suffer heart failure when their heart muscle is not strong enough to pump blood around the body. It may cause breathing problems and swelling in the legs.

The recommended starting dose is Imdur 30 mg once daily. After several days your dosage may be increased to control your condition fully. The tablet should be taken on an empty stomach. Follow your doctor’s advice. Your doctor will decide the dose and duration of the treatment. This may change from time to time depending on how well the medicine is working to control your condition. You should keep taking medicine even if you feel well. This helps to prevent chest pain in the future. If you stop taking it, your risk of chest pain will increase, especially when you discontinue treatment suddenly.
