| dailymed-instance:dosage |
The recommended initial dose of isosorbide is 1.5 gm/kg body weight (equivalent to 1.5 mL /lb. of body weight). The onset of action is usually within 30 minutes while the maximum effect is expected at 1 to 1 1/2 hours. The useful dose range is 1 to 3 gm/kg body weight and the drug effect will persist up to 5 to 6 hours. Use two to four times a day as indicated. Palatability may be improved if the medication is poured over cracked ice and sipped. RECOMMENDED DOSAGES ARE:

Isosorbide is rapidly absorbed after oral administration. It is essentially nonmetabolized, and in the circulation, it contributes to the tonicity of the blood until it is eliminated by the kidney unchanged. While in the blood, isosorbide acts as an osmotic agent to promote redistribution of water toward the circulation with ultimate elimination in the urine. The physical action of ISMOTIC is similar to that of other osmotic drugs.

General: For oral use only���not for injection. Repetitive doses should be used with caution particularly in patients with diseases associated with salt retention. Ensure that patient's bladder has been emptied prior to surgery.<br/>Carcinogenesis, Mutagenesis, Impairment of Fertility: No studies have been conducted in animals or in humans to evaluate the potential of these effects.<br/>Pregnancy:<br/>Pregnancy Category B: Reproduction (fertility and teratology) studies have been performed in rats at doses approximately 5 times the recommended initial human dose of 1.5 gm/kg body weight and have revealed no evidence of impaired fertility or harm to the fetus due to isosorbide. Teratology studies have been performed with rabbits and rats given daily oral doses of isosorbide at 6.5 and 10 times, respectively, the recommended initial human dose during organogenesis without evidence of harm to the fetus. There are, however, no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. Because animal studies are not always predictive of human responses, this drug should be used during pregnancy only if clearly needed.<br/>Nursing Mothers: It is not known whether this drug is excreted in human milk. Because many drugs are excreted in breast milk, caution should be exercised when isosorbide is administered to a nursing mother.<br/>Pediatric Use: Safety and effectiveness in pediatric patients have not been established.
