Ismo 20mg Tablet 10's contains Isosorbide Mononitrate 20mg, a nitrate medicine used to prevent angina (chest pain) caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the heart's workload.

Ismo is prescribed for the long-term prevention of angina attacks in patients with coronary artery disease. It helps improve exercise tolerance and reduces the frequency of chest pain episodes.
