Isosorbide is used to prevent or treat chest pain (angina). It works by relaxing the blood vessels to the heart, so the blood and oxygen supply to the heart is increased.
This medication is sometimes prescribed for other uses; ask your doctor or pharmacist for more information.

Angina or chest pain. It is a vasodilator. It opens up your blood vessels and lets the blood flow more freely to relive tightness and pain.
