Identification
- Summary
Isosorbide is a vasodilator used for the prevention and treatment of angina pectoris due to coronary artery disease. It was previously used to reduce intraocular pressure.
- Generic Name
- Isosorbide
- DrugBank Accession Number
- DB09401
- Background
Isosorbide was previously available in an oral formulation for the reduction of intraocular pressure. It was approved by the FDA in 1980, but has since been discontinued. Currently, isosorbide is an organic nitrate currently available in the isosorbide mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate forms, and is used for the prevention of angina. Refer to these drug entries for more information.

Pharmacology
- Indication
Isosorbide was previously indicated for temporary reduction of intraocular pressure and used to interrupt an acute glaucoma attack, however, this is not a currently approved indication.12 Refer to isosorbide mononitrate and isosorbide dinitrate drug entries for more isosorbide indications.

- Pharmacodynamics
Isosorbide reduces intraocular pressure through its effects on ocular blood vessels.8,12 While in the blood, isosorbide promotes redistribution of water toward the circulation, promoting the excretion of urine.12
- Mechanism of action
Isosorbide causes vascular relaxation, reducing systolic ophthalmic artery pressure (SOAP), systolic ocular perfusion pressure (SOPP).8
Target Actions Organism AGuanylate cyclase activatorHumans - Absorption
Isosorbide is rapidly absorbed after oral administration.12 Refer to isosorbide mononitrate for detailed absorption information.

Drug Interaction Integrate drug-drug
interactions in your softwareAbacavir Isosorbide may increase the excretion rate of Abacavir which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy. Aceclofenac Isosorbide may increase the excretion rate of Aceclofenac which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy. Acemetacin The therapeutic efficacy of Isosorbide can be decreased when used in combination with Acemetacin. Acetaminophen Isosorbide may increase the excretion rate of Acetaminophen which could result in a lower serum level and potentially a reduction in efficacy. Acetylsalicylic acid Acetylsalicylic acid may decrease the excretion rate of Isosorbide which could result in a higher serum level. - Food Interactions
