Blood Type Diet and Isosorbide Mononitrate

We checked these two against our interaction database. Here is what we found.

No Known Interaction Found

We did not find a documented interaction between Isosorbide Mononitrate and Blood Type Diet in our sources. This does not guarantee that the combination is completely free of risk — research on Blood Type Diet alongside specific medications may be limited.

Worth understanding: our licensed dataset holds no drug-interaction record for Blood Type Diet at all — not against Isosorbide Mononitrate, and not against any other medication we track. This verdict therefore rests on the absence of any recorded data, not on research that looked at this combination and found nothing. We cannot rule an interaction out.

Blood Type Diet is an eating pattern rather than something you take. Ask your pharmacist or doctor before changing how you eat while on a prescribed medicine: some medicines are dosed around meals, and a change in diet can change how they work. Do not stop a prescribed medicine on your own.

Always talk with your pharmacist or doctor before making changes to your medications or supplements, particularly if you take several medications or have an ongoing health condition.

Blood Type Diet safety at a glance

Blood Type Diet overall Use caution The diet itself is generally food-based, but restricting whole food groups may lead to nutrient gaps.
Pregnancy Use caution Restrictive eating plans may limit needed nutrients during pregnancy; check with your doctor first.
Breastfeeding Use caution Avoid overly restrictive versions while nursing and ensure adequate calories and nutrients.

Safety guidance is general; always confirm with your pharmacist or doctor for your situation.

What Isosorbide Mononitrate’s Own FDA Label Lists

This is not an interaction — none of it involves Blood Type Diet. These are the most notable effects listed in the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of Isosorbide Mononitrate’s own FDA label, for the medication by itself. Knowing the drug’s own list makes it easier to work out the likely cause if something new turns up while you follow Blood Type Diet and take the medicine. 10 of them are worth acting on rather than waiting out — marked below.

  • Kidney stones Worth acting on
  • Muscle weakness Worth acting on
  • Bleeding in the gut Worth acting on
  • Low potassium Worth acting on
  • A slow heartbeat Worth acting on
  • A heart attack Worth acting on
  • Chest pain Worth acting on mentioned in 6.0% of FDA reports for Isosorbide Mononitrate
  • Heart failure Worth acting on
  • Shortness of breath Worth acting on mentioned in 7.6% of FDA reports for Isosorbide Mononitrate
  • Fainting Worth acting on

Showing the 10 most notable of 56 label-listed effects — ranked by how unusual each one is across medicines generally, with serious effects weighted up.

From the ADVERSE REACTIONS section of the FDA label for Isosorbide Mononitrate. Read the label on DailyMed › Where a percentage is shown, it is the share of 20,621 voluntary FDA FAERS reports for Isosorbide Mononitrate that mention that effect — a reporting proportion, not an incidence rate and not evidence the drug caused it. Blood Type Diet’s licensed record lists no adverse effects our clinical vocabulary could match, so there is no Blood Type Diet side to compare — that is a limit of the record, not a statement that Blood Type Diet has no side effects.

About Blood Type Diet

What is Blood Type Diet?

  • Weight loss
  • General wellness
  • Heart health
  • Digestive health
  • Reducing inflammation

The Blood Type Diet claims that eating foods matched to your ABO blood type improves health and weight, but good-quality studies have not shown that blood type determines who benefits from a given diet. Any health improvements people see are more likely from simply eating more whole, unprocessed foods. Talk to a pharmacist or doctor before making big changes, especially if you have a health condition.

Eating plan (whole-food diet based on ABO blood type)

An interaction check asks whether these two react with each other — it does not ask whether Blood Type Diet is a good idea for someone in your situation. Here is what our Blood Type Diet record says about it on its own.

Blood Type Diet: dosing

There is no "dose" for the Blood Type Diet — it is an eating pattern, not a pill. Followers are given food lists for their blood type and adjust meals accordingly.If you want to try it, focus on the healthy parts (more whole foods, fewer processed foods) and make sure you still get a full range of nutrients. A pharmacist, doctor, or registered dietitian can help you plan a balanced version and decide whether any supplement, such as a multivitamin, is needed.

About Isosorbide

What Is Isosorbide Used For?

Brand names: Imdur, Angeze, Dynamin, Elantan, Ismo, Chemydur 60XL, Elantan LA, Isib 60XL, Ismo Retard, Isodur, Isotard, Modisal LA, Modisal XL, Monomax SR, Monomax XL, Angeze SR, Monomil XL, Monosorb XL, Zemon

Isosorbide is used to prevent angina pectoris — chest pain or tightness caused by coronary artery disease. Both isosorbide dinitrate tablets and isosorbide mononitrate tablets (including Monoket and Isordil) are used for this purpose.

Important: none of these oral formulations work fast enough to stop a chest pain episode that has already started. They are taken on a schedule to prevent angina, not to treat it in the moment.

Most-Reported Side Effects for Isosorbide Mononitrate

From FAERS, the FDA’s public side-effect reporting system (20,621 reports, all brands). Reports are voluntary and are not proof the drug caused the effect.

Dyspnea 1,568 reports
Dizziness 1,464 reports
