No, Isosorbide Mononitrate extended-release (ER) is not a blood thinner. It is a nitrate medication primarily used to treat angina (chest pain) by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which improves blood flow.

Yes, Procardia, which contains the active ingredient nifedipine, is a vasodilator. It works by relaxing the smooth muscles of blood vessels, leading to their dilation and reducing blood pressure.
