About Sorbitrate 10 Tablet

Sorbitrate 10 Tablet belongs to the class of blood pressure-lowering medications called ‘nitrate vasodilators’ used in the prevention of angina (heart-related chest pain) or heart failure. Angina pectoris (angina) is chest pain occurring due to reduced blood flow to the heart (coronary artery disease). It occurs when the blood vessels supplying the heart are blocked or narrowed.

Sorbitrate 10 Tablet contains ‘isosorbide dinitrate’ which works by dilating, relaxing, and widening the constricted blood vessels, thereby increasing the blood and oxygen supply to the heart. Thus, it effectively helps prevent the risk of future heart attack and stroke in the future, especially in high blood pressure patients. 

Take Sorbitrate 10 Tablet as prescribed. Your doctor will advise you on how often you take Sorbitrate 10 Tablet based on your medical condition. The common side-effects of Sorbitrate 10 Tablet are headache (during initial days of therapy) and flushing (reddening of the skin, especially the face). These side effects usually disappear without requiring medical attention. However, consult your doctor immediately if these effects persist or worsen.

Do not take it if you are allergic to ‘isosorbide dinitrate’ or any ingredients of it. Do not use in patients with severe heart failure, severe hypotension (low blood pressure), bleeding in the brain, severe dehydration, heart valve problems, progressive heart failure due to chronic lung disease, severe anemia (low levels of iron), and severe hypoxemia (low levels of oxygen in the blood). Inform your doctor if you have an underactive thyroid gland, glaucoma (an eye condition), or head injury. Inform your doctor if you are taking other prescription or non-prescription medicines, especially medicines used to treat erectile dysfunction in men. Sorbitrate 10 Tablet contains lactose, so inform your doctor if you have an intolerance to some sugars. Also, inform your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

  • Wear compression garments like stockings, sleeves, or gloves to apply pressure and help stop fluid from building up, especially after the swelling goes down.
  • Move around and do exercises to help the fluid circulate, especially in swollen limbs. Ask your doctor for specific exercises.
  • Raise the swollen area above your heart level several times a day, even while sleeping, to help reduce swelling.
  • Gently massage the swollen area with firm but not painful pressure.
  • Keep the swollen area clean and moisturized to prevent injury and infection.
  • Reduce salt intake to help prevent fluid from building up and worsening the swelling, as advised by a doctor.
  • If the swelling does not get better after a few days of home treatment or worsens, consult your doctor right away.
Here are the 7 steps to manage Dizziness caused by medication:
  • Inform your doctor about dizziness symptoms. They may adjust your medication regimen or prescribe additional medications to manage symptoms.
  • Follow your doctor's instructions for taking medication, and take it at the same time every day to minimize dizziness.
  • When standing up, do so slowly and carefully to avoid sudden dizziness.
  • Avoid making sudden movements, such as turning or bending quickly, which can exacerbate dizziness.
  • Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and help alleviate dizziness symptoms.
  • If you're feeling dizzy, sit or lie down and rest until the dizziness passes.
  • Track when dizziness occurs and any factors that may trigger it, and share this information with your doctor to help manage symptoms.
