I've been prescribed Isosorbide Mononitrate 60mg ER tabs to manage my angina. I'm curious about the long-term effects and how others manage side effects like headaches. The extended-release aspect is a game-changer for preventing attacks, but I'm worried about potential complications. Any tips on integrating this medication into daily life? Has anyone experienced severe side effects, and if so, how did you handle them?

Can anyone confirm how long it took for the headaches to go away? Mine are still persistent after a month.

I switched from a different nitrate to this one and the difference is night and day. No more sudden chest pain, but the dizziness can be intense. I've started using a cane just to be safe.

I had a similar experience with severe dizziness when I first started. My doctor recommended getting up slowly and wearing compression stockings to help with blood flow. Haven't had an issue since. The FDA has great safety information. I reported the side-effects I had to them and they got bck to me to help me manage them.

I've been on this for a year now, and the headaches were brutal at first. I talked to my doctor, and they suggested taking it with food and staying hydrated. It took a few weeks, but it helped a lot.

My doctor mentioned that some people experience allergic reactions. Has anyone here had that issue and how did you address it?
