How does Monocard work?

Monocard works by widening the blood vessels in your heart to allow an increased amount of blood flow to areas which need it.

Can I take sildenafil while taking Monocard?

No, you should not take sildenafil along with Monocard. Both these medicines lower blood pressure and belong to the same class. Taking these two medicines together may cause significant decrease in blood pressure which can cause fainting or even a heart attack. Along with this, avoid taking other medicines which belong to the same class such as vardenafil and tadalafil.

Does Monocard lower blood pressure?

Yes, Monocard lowers blood pressure. This medicine widens the blood vessels and decreases the resistance in them, causing a fall in blood pressure. This fall in blood pressure may in turn decrease the heartbeat which can lead to angina. This medicine should be avoided in people who already have low blood pressure. Discuss with your doctor if you have any concerns.

What is Monocard and what is it used for?

Monocard belongs to a group of medicines called organic nitrates. Monocard is used to prevent and treat angina pectoris and as an adjunctive treatment in severe acute or chronic congestive cardiac failure.

Does Monocard lower heart rate?
