Ismo 20 mg Tablet

Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain)

In Heart conditions

Ismo supports the heart's rhythm, blood supply or pumping strength, depending on the condition it was prescribed for. Taken regularly, it reduces symptoms and lowers the chance of a hospital admission.

In Angina

Ismo improves the blood supply to the heart muscle or reduces its workload, so chest pain comes on less often and you can do more before it starts.

In Irregular heartbeat

Ismo helps the heart keep a regular rhythm, easing palpitations and the breathlessness or light-headedness that an uneven heartbeat causes.
