Hi,
It's tricky and depends on the individual. Imdur is a long acting nitroglycerin and there can be a nasty withdrawal if it is removed from certain people (gives angina or heart problems). BUT NITROPASTE has about the same effect if people really need nitrates.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
