In a patient with migraines, will their frequency increase if the patient takes isordil (isosorbide dinitrate)?

Nitro heaache: A Nitroglycerin headache is not considered a true migraine headache. Isordil (isosorbide dinitrate) headaches will go away with time. Migraines will come and go.

Isordil (isosorbide dinitrate) & Headaches: Isordil is nitroglycerine, a vasodilator for the heart( seldom other) which can cause headaches. It is dose dependent, the higher the most likely headache. You may take tylenol (acetaminophen) for it. If your migraines get worst talk to the cardiologist about it.
