The frequency of side effects is classified according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization: very often - not less than 10%; often - not less than 1%, but less than 10%; infrequently - not less than 0,1%, but less than 1%; rarely - not less than 0.01%, but less than 0.1%; very rarely (including individual reports) - less than 0.01%; frequency is unknown - can not be calculated from available data.
From the central nervous system: very often - "nitrate" headache; often - dizziness (including postural), drowsiness, blurred vision, fatigue, decreased ability to rapid mental and motor reactions (especially at the beginning of treatment); rarely - ischemia of the brain.
From the cardiovascular system: infrequently - hyperemia of the skin of the face, a feeling of heat, "hot flashes" of blood to the skin of the face, tachycardia; frequency unknown - marked decrease in blood pressure; rarely - increased attacks of angina pectoris (paradoxical reaction to nitrates), orthostatic collapse. There were cases of collapoid states, sometimes with bradyarrhythmia and syncope.
From the digestive system: infrequently - nausea, vomiting, there may be a feeling of slight burning of the tongue, dryness of the oral mucosa; very rarely - heartburn.
Allergic reactions: infrequently - a skin rash.
Dermatological reactions: very rarely - angioedema, Stevens-Johnson syndrome; frequency is unknown - exfoliative dermatitis (severe cases exudative erythema multiforme, and impetigo commonly toksikodermiya).
Other: development of tolerance (including cross-over to other nitrates). To prevent the development of tolerance, continuous intake of high doses of the drug should be avoided.
For organic nitrates cases of pronounced reduction in blood pressure were observed, accompanied by nausea, vomiting, restlessness, pallor of the skin and sweating.
Long-term use of the Isosorbide mononitrate-Teva preparation can cause transient hypoxemia due to the relative redistribution of blood flow to the hypoventilation alveolar areas. This may be the triggering mechanism of ischemia in IHD.
