Hello,
Isosorbide mononitrate belongs to the group of medicines called nitrates. It works by relaxing the blood vessels and increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload.
It is used to prevent chest pain (angina) in patients with coronary artery disease. So, let her continue taking it along with blood thinner Eliquis and cardioselective beta blocker Metoprolol tartrate as prescribed by her doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mohammed Taher Ali
