Patient summary

Monoket is utilized to support management of angina pectoris to alleviate chest pain, effective to relax blood vessels and to target improved cardiac flow.

Mechanism of action

Monoket is a long-acting nitrate that dilates systemic arteries and veins. This reduces the workload of the heart and decreases the oxygen demand of the myocardium, alleviating angina.
