Isosorbide-5-mononitrate is a drug belonging to the vasodilator class, primarily used to widen the cardiovascular vessels to improve blood flow. It is utilized in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases such as angina, reducing the burden on the heart.

This ingredient releases nitric oxide in the body, relaxing the smooth muscles of the blood vessels. As a result, the blood vessels dilate, allowing blood to flow smoothly and increasing the oxygen supply to the heart, thereby alleviating the symptoms of angina.
