Active metabolite of isosorbide dinitrate that releases nitric oxide, dilating venous capacitance vessels and reducing cardiac preload.
Similar to isosorbide dinitrate but with more predictable oral bioavailability. Tolerance still develops. Hypotension possible.
Species-specific contraindications and adverse-reaction reports for cat may differ from canine / feline reference data — consult the primary citations listed with each rule.
Why a species-specific page? Isosorbide Mononitrate pharmacokinetics differ across species: dose ranges, intervals, and route preferences are not interchangeable. Cross-extrapolation from canine doses is unsafe in cat — the rules above are the citations specific to this species, not generic recommendations.
