A member asked:

Specializes in Cardiac Electrophysiology

You should take: whichever your health care provider has recommended. Mononitrate has a longer half life and less likely to develop tolerance. Used more commonly in stable angina patients. Ask your health care provider this questions as s/he has your medical history available.
