About this item
INTRODUCTION ABOUT ISOLAZINE TABLET
ISOLAZINE TABLET is a combination of Hydralazine and Isosorbide dinitrate which belongs to the group of medicines called Vasodilators. It is used to manage heart failure along with standard therapy in patients to improve survival, delay hospitalization for heart failure and to improve patient-reported functional status.
Heart failure is defined as a progressive clinical disorder where your heart is unable to pump sufficient blood to meet the body’s metabolic needs, characterized by shortness of breath and extreme tiredness.
During course of the management your doctor might regularly monitor your blood pressure to avoid any untoward side effects. The safety and effectiveness of ISOLAZINE TABLET in children have not been established.
Before taking ISOLAZINE TABLET, inform your doctor if you have any kidney, heart, lung or liver problems, too much sweating, fluid loss, vomiting or diarrhea or if you consume alcohol.
