It's just a trade name for the anti-anginal isosorbide mononitrate. I was on it for about a year pre-bypass. If it works for you it is better than GTN spray when angina occurs as this can cause woozy head and headache. Sometimes better to split dose am and pm but ask GP first.
How much were you taking
2 x 25mg...
Why did you come off it
I had a bypass as four arteries were between 70% and 85% blocked. Woke up with neither angina nor breathlessness!
Sorry I never saw pre by pass ha ha
If I recall correctly you had stents. These sometimes take a short while to settle. If you still have angina you may need further stents. Depending on the arteries affected and the extent of any blockages they may consider a bypass going forward.
Thanks food for thought
