In Prevention of Angina (heart-related chest pain)
Isordil 10 Tablet reduces your risk of getting heart-related chest pain (angina attack). It does not treat an angina attack that has already begun and should not be used for this purpose.

The most common symptoms are breathlessness, tiredness, and swelling in your legs, ankles, abdomen, and other parts of your body.

This medicine will help relieve your symptoms, making you feel better and more energetic. You should make appropriate lifestyle changes (such as eating healthily and keeping active) to help this medicine be effective. Take it regularly and keep taking it even if you feel better.
