Can I take Isosorbide mononitrate and Vitamin D together?

Varför detta händer

These two substances work in completely different ways in the body. Isosorbide mononitrate relaxes the blood vessels to improve blood flow to the heart, while Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and maintain bone health. They do not interfere with each other's absorption, breakdown, or effects.

You can safely take these two medications together. It is usually best to take your heart medication at the same time each day as prescribed by your doctor. If you are taking very high doses of Vitamin D (prescribed for a deficiency), your doctor may monitor your calcium levels, but this is standard practice and not caused by the heart medication.

Erectile dysfunction treatment

You must not take sildenafil (Viagra), tadalafil (Cialis), or vardenafil (Levitra) while using Isosorbide mononitrate. Combining them can cause a dangerous and potentially fatal drop in blood pressure.

Hypercalcaemia (high blood calcium levels)

Do not take vitamin D supplements if you have high levels of calcium in your blood or urine, as this can lead to serious kidney damage and heart rhythm problems.

Alkohol

It is best to avoid or strictly limit alcohol while taking isosorbide mononitrate. Alcohol can increase the blood pressure-lowering effect of this medicine, which may make you feel dizzy, lightheaded, or faint. It can also increase the risk of headaches.

Fettrika måltider

Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is best absorbed by your body when taken with a meal that contains some fat (such as eggs, avocado, nuts, or dairy).
