Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Headache and jaw pain is a side effect of isosorbide mononitrate.
If the pain is supportable you should continue using half the actual dose or use Tylenol to relieve the pain.
If the pain is severe and isn't relieve by Tylenol (acetaminophen) you should stop taking it.
Hope this will be of help!
