How this medicine works

The FDA historical MONOKET label identifies isosorbide mononitrate as an organic nitrate and describes its principal pharmacological action as relaxation of vascular smooth muscle, followed by dilation of peripheral arteries and veins. This mechanism overview only helps explain why blood pressure, dizziness, other nitrates and the complete medicine list need review together; it does not tell anyone what to do during chest pain, how many tablets to take, when to take them, or how to adjust, combine, stop or switch treatment.

Check the market, names, dosage form and route together

A medicine may use different brand names across markets. Keep the market, brand, generic name, dosage form and route together; one matching field does not prove that two packs are the same or interchangeable.

FOR EVERYDAY QUESTIONS

After the leaflet, continue with the question you still need to check

What this pack is

MONOKET is the brand name in this record; isosorbide mononitrate is the generic name. Read both together with the dosage form (oral tablet).

What this page can show

This is a source-traceable public record. It helps you read the product identity and its listed source documents; each market still needs its own current record check.

What to bring to the next conversation

Bring the actual pack, the label or prescription, and a complete medicine list when you speak with a pharmacist or clinician.

PRODUCT PRESENTATION IDENTITY

Strength, pack and device identity

Package strength is not an individual dose. These fields help identify the exact labelled product; they do not calculate how much, how often, a missed-use action, splitting, switching or conversion.

2 source-backed strength, pack or device records — open the full list

First match the market, dosage form and labelled amount on the pack in hand. The number of tablets, sachets or devices in a pack is not a personal dose or schedule.

PACKAGE-VISUAL STATUS

Historical-label text was reviewed, but no official package image matching one exact strength and package was retained, so no package visual is shown

This dossier retains MONOKET, isosorbide mononitrate, 10 mg/20 mg, two NDCs and each 100-tablet bottle as text identity fields from the FDA historical prescribing information. No official image that can safely be matched one to one to one strength, one NDC and one historical package was retained; to avoid treating a retail image, version-uncertain image, same-ingredient extended-release tablet, other nitrate or another-market image as an exact MONOKET pack, the page withholds package imagery and retains the primary document for enlarged reading.

LABEL READING · NOT A PRESCRIPTION

MONOKET historical label reading in larger print

Reading level: drug-specific label reading. This record has been expanded around its dosage form or a higher-risk reading question; the current target-market label and professional review still apply.

Read this FDA historical document first by exact brand, generic name, tablet form, labelled amount per tablet and target market; it does not replace today's prescription, current label or a professional's individual assessment.

  • 10 mg and 20 mg are two separately listed historical tablet identities. A shared ingredient, nearby mg number or similar name is not a basis for self-adjusting, splitting, making up, alternating, substituting or converting another dosage form.
  • Check MONOKET separately from same-ingredient extended-release tablets, other nitrates and similarly named products. If these appear on the actual pack or complete medicine list, ask a pharmacist or prescribing team to review them before any self-directed combining, spacing, switching or stopping.
  • The cited 2014 document records contraindication warnings involving certain erectile-dysfunction medicines and riociguat. This is a historical-label reading cue, not personal advice to stop, combine or manage an urgent issue; any actual co-use question needs prompt confirmation by a professional who knows the complete medicine list.

PHARMACOVIGILANCE · OFFICIAL ROUTES

Check safety information in the right market

Start with the public label or product record linked to this dossier, then use the official safety routes below for the market that applies to the medicine in hand.

Match five details before using a safety record

  1. Brand and generic nameBoth must match the medicine named by the record.
  2. Dosage form and strengthTablet, capsule, injection, inhaler, patch and eye drop are not interchangeable.
  3. Market and notice dateA record applies only to the country or region and date it names.
  4. Lot, pack and manufacturerRecord these only when the official notice specifically names them.
  5. Current product informationA historical record may have been superseded by the current label.

This checklist only helps organise the right question. It does not create a personal conclusion about stopping, switching, dose, combination or suitability.

It does not mean real-time alerts for this medicine have been searched in every country or region, or that the medicine has a new alert, recall or risk conclusion. Match brand, generic name, dosage form, strength, market and notice date item by item; do not self-stop, switch, increase or reduce use from a headline.

For severe or rapidly worsening symptoms, suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, loss of consciousness or another emergency, use local emergency services. Do not wait for an online alert search or change a medicine from this page.

PACK · LABEL · MEDICINE LIST

Six checks for this medicine pack

Use this card to organise questions about MONOKET (isosorbide mononitrate). Keep the exact pack, its current label and the full medicine list together.

  1. Identify the exact product

    MONOKET is the brand in this record and isosorbide mononitrate is the active-ingredient name. Check both with the dosage form (Dosage form and presentation as documented in the linked primary label) and the market on the actual pack.

  2. Read the labelled strength in context

    mg, mcg, mg/mL or a percentage describes the labelled amount in one tablet, capsule, measured volume, spray or other unit. It is not an answer to how many units a person should take.

  3. Check before splitting or opening

    Before splitting, crushing, chewing or opening anything, find an explicit instruction for this exact product in its current label and ask a pharmacist. A score line or a previous pack is not enough by itself.

  4. Put every product on one list

    Include prescriptions, over-the-counter products, eye drops, creams, vitamins, minerals, herbs and supplements. A pharmacist or prescriber needs the whole list before any combination, alternation, switch or stop is considered.

  5. Ask a specific pharmacogenetics question

    Ask which medicine, which gene and what clinical decision a result could change. A gene–drug association does not mean broad genetic testing is needed for everyone and must not be used to change treatment without professional review.

  6. Know when to seek urgent help

    For a suspected overdose, a severe allergic reaction, fainting or difficulty breathing, use the local emergency or poison-information service now. Do not wait for a website reply or alter several medicines to test what caused it.

This card does not calculate a dose, decide whether medicines can be combined, or replace a clinician or pharmacist. Market-specific current labels and the person's full context still need review.

HOW IT WORKS · NOT A TREATMENT PLAN

How isosorbide mononitrate works: the historical label describes relaxation of vascular smooth muscle

  • “Vascular smooth-muscle relaxation” explains a pharmacological pathway. It does not make MONOKET 10 mg/20 mg tablets, same-ingredient extended-release tablets, isosorbide dinitrate, nitroglycerin or another cardiovascular medicine self-convertible by milligrams, combinable, separable or alternatable. Have a pharmacist or prescribing team review the exact packs and complete medicine list item by item.
  • The historical label also explicitly states that this oral product does not act rapidly enough to abort an acute angina episode. Neither a mechanism page nor a historical document is an acute-chest-pain self-care guide; with new or worsening chest pain, fainting, marked breathing difficulty or another emergency symptom, use the local emergency pathway immediately rather than self-adjusting medicine from a webpage.
  • The historical-label material on PDE5 inhibitors, riociguat, alcohol and other vasodilators is a cue for complete interaction review, not a webpage conclusion about an individual's stopping, co-use, spacing or urgent management. Any actual co-use or symptom concern needs prompt assessment by a professional who knows the complete medicine list.

How to read this record

Read each document in its stated market, date and dosage-form context. A historical record is not a current label and does not support individual medical, substitution or purchasing conclusions.

Keep international and mainland China records separate

This page has a U.S. public history/regulatory archive but no mainland China record for this specific product. That does not establish whether the medicine exists, is approved or is available in mainland China. Verify product identity, dosage form, strength, holder and the current label item by item.

Record questions

Does this FDA historical document represent the current product in my hand or local pharmacy?

Not automatically. Its value is an entry point to the exact brand, generic name, historical tablet presentations and original document; current-product questions must return to the actual pack and the target market's current official label with professional review.
