Is it also a blood thinner. ## There are currently shartages of Isosorb Mono. Can you tell when these shortages will be resolved. ## The Ethex pharmaceutical company had some quality control problems and recently was forced to recall some of their generic prescription medications. There has been no word yet on how long there will be a shortage due to this issue. The name brand is still available. Have you tried calling different pharmacies to see who might still have some in stock? ## I've been experiencing nose bleeds since starting Isosorb. Is this a normal side effect. I've never had nose bleeds before and at first thought it was the result of surgery and oxygen tubes; however, surgery was a month ago and I'm still experiencing the nose bleeds.
