HOW IHD SR OD 30MG WORKS

After administration, isosorbide-5-mononitrate is converted into free radical nitric oxide which activates the enzyme guanylate cyclase. Activation of this enzyme is followed by synthesis of cyclic guanosine 3?,5?-monophosphate (cyclic GMP) in smooth muscle and other tissues.

This process leads to dephosphorylation of myosin light chain of smooth muscles, and results in relaxation and increased blood flow in arteries, veins and cardiac tissue (vasodilatation), this in turn decreases cardiac workload and provides relief from anginal symptoms.
