Isodil
by JW114, Jul 07, 2008 01:29PM
Hi, I am currently participating in a home-study course to receive Medical Transcriptionist Certification. In one of my reports, (Cardiology Consultation Report), it states the patient was placed on Isodil and then diltiazem. I am unable to find any place in my references that has the medication "Isodil". Is this a cardiac medication and am I spelling it correctly? Could you help me with answers as to dosages and information about Isodil or it's generic form? Thank You.

Hello
Good luck in your training. I would suggest obtaining a small physicians desk reference of medications. It will be helpful with spelling questions that you will have. The spelling is isordil and the generic is isosorbide dinitrate. It is used for treatment and prophylaxis of angina.Dosages range from 5-20 mg 2-3 times day
