Scientific Evidence

Isosorbide dinitrate, the active ingredient in Dicor Long, is a vasodilator that works by relaxing the blood vessels, increasing oxygen and blood flow to the heart. Studies have shown that isosorbide dinitrate is effective in reducing the frequency and severity of angina attacks.

Additional Information

Dicor Long with prolonged release provides sustained nitrate therapy, offering around-the-clock angina relief. It is important to avoid sudden discontinuation of the medication to prevent rebound angina. Regular follow-ups with a healthcare provider are recommended to monitor the effectiveness and adjust the dosage if needed.

Pharmacological studies have demonstrated the efficacy of isosorbide dinitrate in improving exercise tolerance and reducing the need for sublingual nitroglycerin in patients with angina. Clinical trials have also shown that prolonged-release formulations like Dicor Long provide consistent nitrate levels, reducing the risk of tolerance development.
