Frequently asked questions

What does Ismo treat?

Ismo (Isosorbide Mononitrate) may be used to treat angina pectoris, coronary disease, cyanosis, gastroesophageal reflux, heart failure, poisoning, based on NIH RxClass drug-classification data (conditions a drug may treat — not a verbatim copy of the FDA-approved label). This is general reference, not medical advice.

How does Ismo work?

Ismo is a nitrate vasodilator. Nitrate vasodilators are converted in the body into nitric oxide, which relaxes the smooth muscle in blood vessel walls and widens them. This mainly opens up the veins, reducing how hard the heart must work and relieving chest pain.

Is there a coupon or discount for Ismo?

pharmaranks is an independent ratings site, not a pharmacy — we don't issue coupons or sell Ismo. To pay less, ask your prescriber or pharmacist whether a generic equivalent exists, check the manufacturer's copay/savings card and patient-assistance program, and compare a pharmacy discount card against your insurance copay. Prices vary by pharmacy, insurance, and location, so always confirm at the counter. This is general reference, not medical or financial advice.
