Monoket is a nitrate drug effective in the prevention of angina or chest pains and reduction of the strain on the hearts of patients suffering from coronary artery disease. Monoket relaxes the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely. This medication cannot cure chest pains once it occurs. Monoket is also not safe to be taken before activities like exercise and sexual intercourse.
Monoket is taken orally at least twice a day, or as prescribed by a doctor. Users take the initial dose in the morning, and the next dose after 7 hours. Users must not change the dosing schedule unless instructed by a doctor.
The long period in between the last dose and the next dose the following day is important to make Monoket work. Users must follow their dosing schedule in order to make Monoket work effectively. In case the drug fails to work, users must immediately contact their doctors. Although highly unlikely, Monoket may not be as effective when used for a longer period as indicated by a doctor.
In case a user misses a dose, he or she should take it immediately and then go back to the regular dosing schedule. The user should not take 2 tablets of Monoket to make up for a missed dose.
Users may experience isolated cases of side effects like dizziness, nausea, and headache once the body adjusts to Monoket. Usually, a headache is a good indication that the drug is working well. To treat the headache, taking of aspirin or a pain reliever may work. If any of the side effects, however, persist, users should contact their doctors immediately.
Some of the more serious side effects that may arise from taking of Monoket are unusual slowing down of the heartbeat, worsening chest pains, fainting and flushing. Serious allergic reaction to Monoket is highly unlikely, but users should seek medical help immediately if these symptoms persist- rash, swelling, itching, severe dizziness, and difficulty in breathing.
Users need to advise their doctors or pharmacists about their allergy to medications such as nitrates before agreeing to take Monoket. Users also will be checked if they have any of the following conditions before being prescribed with Monoket: low blood pressure, heart conditions, dehydration, overactive thyroid, and occupational contact with nitrates.
Monoket should never be used simultaneously with the following drugs due to likelihood of fatal interactions- drugs for impotence like vardenafil, tadalafil and sildenafil. In case the user takes these drugs, he or she should tell a doctor or pharmacist before beginning to take Monoket.
Users also need to tell their doctors or pharmacists of any herbal products and over the counter medications they are taking before beginning to use Monoket. Drugs that decrease high blood pressure such as calcium channel blockers, diuretics, beta-blockers; and anti-migraine medications like ergotamine can have negative interaction with Monoket.
Monoket can also affect results of various lab tests like test for blood cholesterol level. Users should inform their doctors or laboratory personnel that they are using Monoket before undergoing any lab tests.
