Notes:
Summary The influence of food on the absorption characteristics of slow release isosorbide-5-mononitrate tablets was investigated in 10 normal healthy volunteers. There were no differences in the peak concentration achieved or the area under the curve, but the peak concentration occurred later when the drug was administered after food. The apparent elimination half-life ranged from 4.7 to 10.1 h. Bioavailability of slow-release isosorbide-5-mononitrate is therefore unaffected by food, but there is a slower rate of absorption.
