Isosorbide dinitrate should be taken with a glass of water to aid in its absorption. It is not necessary to wait for the tablet to dissolve before moving or rinse the mouth, as it is not a sublingual or buccal tablet. However, the client may want to rinse their mouth after taking the medication to freshen their breath due to the taste of the medication.
