What Experts Say

Isosorbide Dinitrate belongs to a group of medicines called nitrates, which relax and widen blood vessels throughout the body. This reduces the amount of work the heart has to do and improves blood flow to the heart muscle itself during periods of high demand, such as during chest pain.

Given as an injection, it acts quickly, which makes it useful in emergency situations like severe angina that has not responded to other treatment or acute heart failure with fluid buildup in the lungs. It is usually given as a controlled infusion in a hospital or intensive care setting under monitoring.

Blood pressure is closely monitored during treatment, since nitrates can cause it to drop suddenly, leading to dizziness, weakness, or fainting. It should not be used with medicines for erectile dysfunction, since the combination can cause a dangerous and sudden fall in blood pressure that can be life threatening.
