Isoket is a term commonly used in medical contexts referring to a specific medication known as Iso-Sorbide Dinitrate, which is a type of nitrate drug. The term Isoket is derived from the combination of "Iso," meaning isomer, and "ket," short for ketone. Iso-Sorbide Dinitrate, or Isoket, is primarily used for the treatment of symptoms associated with angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain or discomfort caused by the reduced blood flow to the heart muscles.
Isoket works by dilating the blood vessels in the body, particularly the veins, leading to reduced venous return and decreased workload on the heart. This results in an increased supply of oxygen and blood to the heart, relieving the chest pain typically experienced during an angina attack. Isoket is available in various formulations such as tablets, sprays, and infusions, enabling physicians to select the most appropriate administration route based on the patient's condition and needs.
It is worth noting that Isoket should only be taken under the supervision and prescription of a healthcare professional, as improper use or dosage can lead to serious side effects. Common side effects associated with Isoket may include headaches, dizziness, flushing, and low blood pressure. In some cases, the medication may cause other adverse reactions, including nausea, vomiting, or allergic reactions. It is important to consult a healthcare provider for accurate dosage instructions, potential drug interactions, and to monitor the overall effectiveness and safety of Isoket therapy.
