FAQs
- Can ISMO 20mg be used to treat an active angina attack?
No, ISMO is used for prevention, not for treating immediate chest pain. For an acute angina attack, nitroglycerin is usually recommended. - Can I take this medication with other heart medications?
Consult your doctor, as some medications may interact with ISMO, especially those used to treat erectile dysfunction or low blood pressure. - How long will it take to notice results?
The benefits may be noticeable after a few days of consistent use, but it may take several weeks for full effect. - What should I do if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember, unless it is nearly time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one. - Is it safe to stop taking ISMO suddenly?
Do not stop taking ISMO without consulting your doctor, as it may worsen symptoms of angina.
