Olvisol 30 MG Tablet Sr 10 contains isosorbide mononitrate (30 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Nitric oxide release: Isosorbide mononitrate releases nitric oxide inside blood vessel cells, which starts a chain of reactions leading to blood vessel relaxation.

• Guanylate cyclase activation: The released nitric oxide activates an enzyme called guanylate cyclase, which increases levels of cyclic GMP (a chemical messenger) in the body.

• Blood vessel dilation: The increased cyclic GMP causes the smooth muscles in blood vessel walls to relax, making the vessels wider and improving blood flow.

• Coronary artery dilation: It particularly widens the coronary arteries (the blood vessels supplying the heart), ensuring better oxygen delivery to heart muscles.

• Reduced cardiac workload: By dilating blood vessels throughout the body, the medicine reduces the resistance against which the heart must pump, decreasing its workload.

• Keep in its original container at room temperature (below 30°C).

• Store in a dry place, away from direct light and moisture.

• Keep out of reach of children.

• Check the expiry date on the package and do not use this medicine after that date.

• Follow a low-salt, low-fat diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to support your cardiovascular health and reduce the workload on your heart.

• Engage in moderate exercise as advised by your doctor to improve heart function and circulation, which can help reduce the frequency of angina (chest pain) episodes.
