    This document summarizes information about the drug Isosorbide dinitrate including its mechanism of action, indications, contraindications, side effects, and nursing responsibilities. Isosorbide dinitrate relaxes blood vessels to reduce blood pressure and oxygen demand on the heart, making it useful for treating angina. It should not be used in people allergic to nitrates or with certain medical conditions. Common side effects include headaches and low blood pressure when changing positions. Nurses should assess patients' medical history and vital signs, ensure proper administration, and monitor for worsening symptoms or tolerance issues.
