Dergit 5 Mg Film coated 30 Tablets

Dergit 5mg Film-Coated Tablets are a crucial medication designed for the prevention of angina pectoris (chest pain) caused by coronary artery disease. Each tablet contains Isosorbide Mononitrate, an active ingredient that belongs to a class of drugs called nitrates.

By relaxing and widening blood vessels, Dergit 5mg helps to improve blood flow to the heart, reducing the heart's workload and preventing angina attacks. It is not intended for the immediate relief of an acute angina attack but rather for long-term prophylaxis.

Caution & Warnings

• Dergit 5mg is for preventing angina, not for treating acute angina attacks. For acute attacks, a fast-acting nitrate (e.g., sublingual nitroglycerin) may be prescribed.
• Consult your doctor before use if you have severe hypotension, shock, recent heart attack, or are taking other medications.
• Avoid concurrent use with phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE5) inhibitors (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil) as this can lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure.
• May cause side effects such as headache, dizziness, and flushing, especially at the start of treatment. These usually lessen with continued use.
• Avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication, as it may enhance the hypotensive effects.
• Inform your doctor or pharmacist about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and herbal supplements.
• Keep out of reach of children.
