I was put on this 6 weeks ago and every day about 2 hours after taking it I am dizzy and feel weak and as if I am going to faint. Is this normal?

This is noted as one of the common side effects of isosorbide, but I would recommend talking to your GP about it.

What time of day do you take it?...do you take it on an empty stomach?

The pharmacist would also be able to give further in depth information about this.

Bottom line is, please dont suffer as there are alternatives.
