5 Mono 20 Tablet 10 contains Isosorbide Mononitrate (20 mg). The activity of this medicine can be described through its mechanism of action:

• Conversion into Nitric Oxide: After administration, Isosorbide Mononitrate is converted into nitric oxide (NO)

• Activation of Guanylate Cyclase: Nitric oxide activates an enzyme known as guanylate cyclase, which leads to an increase in cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) in smooth muscles

• Vasodilation: The increased levels of cGMP result in relaxation and increased blood flow in arteries, veins, and cardiac tissue (vasodilation), thus reducing strain on the heart muscle and giving relief from angina

• Ensure 5 Mono 20 Tablet 10 is stored at room temperature.

• Keep the medicine away from direct sunlight and damp areas to prevent degradation.

• Always keep this medication out of reach of children to avoid accidental ingestion.
