Description

Isosorbide Mononitrate is a medication primarily used to prevent angina pectoris (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease. It works by dilating blood vessels, which reduces the heart's workload and improves blood flow to the heart muscle.

Interpreter Notes

Interpreters should be aware that patients may refer to this medication informally or by its brand names, which can vary regionally. It is important to maintain a formal register and use the canonical term 'Mononitrato de isosorbida' in clinical contexts to avoid confusion with other nitrate medications.
