I was able to locate the pill with these markings to be an extended release Isosorbide Mononitrate (30mg), oral tablet.

I recently had an angiogram in which it was found that I had a minor arterial blockage for which isosorb 30mg was prescribed. This drug worked fine for 30 days, but when refilled by a different pharmacy isosorbide mono 30mg was provided. After the first dose, I had this hard to describe upper respiritory sensation, which kept me awake, and I also developed intense pain in my right hip, leaving me hardly able to walk. The two pills look different - the first is pink and oblong while the second is round and white with a mark across the middle as if intended to be cut in half. Can you answer? ## What are the markings on the tablets?

I have been taking Isosorb Mono for about 6 weeks. In addition to a daily headache and some dizziness, I also have developed nose troubles. The inside of my nose is very dry and the mucus is bloody all the time. Has anyone else had this problem? I did have surgery 4 weeks ago and thought at first it had something to do with the oxygen while I was in the hospital, but now I'm wondering if it's not the Isosorb. ## this site is not medical professionals, so we can't give you a definitive answer, you really need to speak to your doctor. I am also not finding anything about this listed in the medication monograph, here: Have you contacted your doctor, yet?
