Description
Imdur, or Imdur generic Isosorbide Mononitrate, is a medication typically prescribed to treat the symptoms of Angina Pectoris (Chest Pain). This is not a medicine that relieves angina pain right away; instead, it is a drug that steadily released over the day, so it will not halt an attack once it occurs.
Imdur medication is used to prevent or cure chest discomfort (angina). It works by relaxing the blood arteries around the heart, allowing more blood and oxygen to reach the heart.
