What if I forget to take a dose of Ismo 10 Tablet?

Can Ismo 10 Tablet be taken at night?
Depending upon the dose, your doctor may recommend you to take this medicine once or twice daily. When a single dose is recommended, then it is preferred to be taken in the morning.

Does Ismo 10 Tablet lower BP?

Discuss with your doctor if you have any concerns.
Can I take sildenafil while taking Ismo 10 Tablet?
