But it is contraindicated to abruptly stop taking Imdur, as it can make symptoms of angina (chest pain) worse. Call the number you have for your doctor. Listen to the message/recording, they should give a number for the doctor's exchange. It is a way to get ahold of the physicians after hours. Whatever cardiologist is taking call will be able to answer your questions. It's always a good idea to clarify. It's best to follow whatever their instructions are specifically.

Good Luck !! - take your meds as prescribed by your regular Dr.
