Heart Disease

Products: 2

What does this heart disease category cover?

Heart disease is a broad term covering several conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. Treatment depends on the diagnosed condition, its severity and a prescriber's assessment. This category is particularly relevant to customers looking for medicines used in the ongoing management of angina associated with coronary heart disease, rather than a complete range of treatments for every cardiac condition.

Which medicine roles are commonly used for heart disease and angina?

Australian prescribing may involve different medicine groups for different purposes, such as reducing cardiovascular risk, controlling blood pressure or heart rate, preventing blood clots, managing fluid retention, or helping prevent angina episodes. Nitrate antianginals are a long-established option for prevention and long-term management of angina in suitable patients. The right treatment role is determined by the underlying condition and prescription, so medicines used for different cardiac purposes should not be treated as interchangeable.

Is this medicine prescription-only in Australia?

Isosorbide mononitrate is a Schedule 4 Prescription Only Medicine in Australia. Medicines containing this ingredient must be included in the Australian Register of Therapeutic Goods before lawful supply in Australia; the ARTG entry should be checked for the exact strength and modified-release formulation. A prescription requirement for this listed medicine does not mean that every medicine used for heart disease has the same classification.
