Experiences with

Elantan

Hi, I've been taking Isosorbide Mononitrate (AKA Elantan 25mg) for about 5-6 weeks now. My cardiologist put me on them after getting angina 5 months after triple bypass (in March) and thinks it's microvascular blockages.

Currently on aspirin, clopidogrel, lansoprazole, elantan, atorvastatin, and ramipril. Been cautiously active since, including some recent gentle 1-hour gym sessions as part of my cardio rehab.

I’ve medication now - on lowest dosage of Elantan - an isosorbide mononitrate, aspirin And now on statins as the only indication apart from the MPI scan is high cholesterol coming in at 7.5 . I’m desperate to return to activity as it’s what keeps me together on every level .

is allowed to post as I'm looking after my elderly mother and having great trouble getting to he bottom of her problems which have been going on for 3 years, she was found to have a blocked artery 20 years ago but carried on with her meds ok, she has naturally low blood pressure but has been taking Elantan

My Next prescription was changed to Elantan LA 50mg once daily. Can you tell me if there is any difference between the two brands that I should be aware of. This change of brands also happens with my other meds plus sometimes mixed brands in the same boxes.

My GP has now prescribed Elantan LA 25 fir Microvascular Angina . I am now worried about the side effects of the combination . Does anyone have any experience of these drugs together .

So what is my next step, do I attend A&E again (I do not believe anything would be done there) or do I ask my gp to increase the Elantan 50mgs daily, even though I was told last year my heart is nearly back to normal. I am at a loss🤷🏻‍♀️ .

I have tried taking Elantan LA 25 and it seemed to make me worse and brought me out in a red itchy rash all over, so I stopped it. I am waiting now for my GP to prescribe one of the other drugs mentioned.

Hi Everyone, I have had Angina for fourteen years and until last June I hardly ever used my spray as I had a slow release pill, Elantan 25. Then in June started having a dead arm shoulder at night sometimes.

When I took Elantan after my heart attack, it dropped my BP so dangerously low I had to stop it. They seem to assume tat if you had a heart attack, you musthave angina but I've had this breathlessness since around 1990.

He’s prescribed another medication called ranolazine on top of my Elantan and GTN spray in an attempt to manage the pain. I’m conflicted because if I went to the a&e every time I had chest pain i’d Be living there, and in any case if operating isn’t an option what can they do?

It has to be something I take on a morning which are TIcagrelor, Ramipril, Elantan (Isosorbide mononitrate) aspirin, and bisopralol plus furosemide that I've taken for 8 years. I tried leaving the ramipril until night in case it was dropping my BP too far but it made no difference.

Atovastatin, ranitidine, bisopralol, aspirin, rampril, ticagrelor, elantan. For 18 years I've also taken oxycodone every 3 hours for spinal pain. If it wakes me at night I write down the time, take a pre measured dose, wait 10 minutes and go back to bed.

Medication change from Isosorbide Mononitrate (Monomil XL) to Elantan LA 100mg daily, has anyone had experience of this drug? if so any problems? Regards Steve
