Heart Disease
What does this Heart Disease category cover?
Heart disease is a broad term for conditions affecting the heart and blood vessels. This category focuses on medicines used in connection with coronary heart disease and angina, rather than providing treatment for every type of heart condition. Angina is chest discomfort that can occur when the heart muscle does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood; it needs assessment and ongoing care from a qualified prescriber.
Which treatment roles are commonly used for coronary heart disease and angina?
Care commonly combines lifestyle measures and medicines selected for the person's cardiovascular risks, symptoms, and clinical history. Depending on the situation, treatment may include medicines to reduce angina symptoms, lower cholesterol, manage blood pressure, or reduce the risk of clot-related events. Nitrates are a long-established antianginal medicine group. Long-acting nitrate treatment is generally used for prevention and ongoing control of angina, while other approaches may be considered when prompt symptom relief or different cardiovascular goals are needed.
Which medicine do we list in this category?
We list Imdur, containing isosorbide mononitrate, as an oral extended-release tablet. The listed strengths are 20 mg, 30 mg, 40 mg, and 60 mg. Extended-release tablets are intended to provide a sustained treatment role, so the prescribed strength and formulation matter; customers should use the product and strength specified by their prescriber.
