Information About Isosorbide Dinitrate

Isosorbide Dinitrate is an organic nitrate vasodilator used to treat and prevent angina pectoris and acute heart failure in Singapore. Available as a 5mg–40mg oral tablet or sublingual tablet taken two to three times daily, it is HSA-registered and available on prescription only in Singapore. Nitrate-free intervals of 8–12 hours daily are essential to prevent nitrate tolerance — continuous exposure leads to loss of vasodilatory efficacy within 24 hours, requiring an asymmetric dosing schedule to maintain therapeutic effectiveness.
