Isosorbide mononitrate extended-release( imdur) vs quick acting release(by kremers). which one can develop tolerance more. which one prescribed often?

Dr. Donald Alves answered

Specializes in Emergency Medicine

Different targets: Either can develop tolerance, long acting a little more likely b/c in system longer. But imdur usually for prolonged venous-dilitation / cardiac perfusion effects and immediate / short formulation more common w/cardiac symptoms. Ask you cardiologist or pharmacist for more specific information.
