Nicorandil Tablets

Product Introduction

Nicorandil 10 mg Tablet prevents and treats heart-related chest pain (angina). Doctors prescribe it when other heart medications are either unsuitable or ineffective. The tablet works by widening blood vessels and improving blood flow to the heart, reducing the risk of an angina attack.

You may take Nicorandil 10 mg Tablet with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Take this medication regularly at the same time(s) each day. Your doctor will determine the appropriate dose and frequency, adjusting it based on how well it works for you. Do not stop taking it without consulting your doctor, as sudden withdrawal may cause chest pain to return. To improve your heart health, consider lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, reducing alcohol consumption, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and managing stress.

Headaches are the most common side effect, especially during the first few days of treatment, but they typically improve within a week. Drinking plenty of fluids and avoiding alcohol may help. Other common side effects include dizziness, weakness, nausea, and flushing (a sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk). If these side effects bother you or persist, talk to your doctor.

Inform your doctor if you have a history of low blood pressure or heart failure, as Nicorandil 10 mg Tablet may not be suitable for everyone. Also, tell your doctor about all other medications you are taking, as some may interact with this medicine. Avoid taking erectile dysfunction medications while using Nicorandil 10 mg Tablet. This medication is not usually recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

Benefits of Nicorandil Tablet

In Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain)

Nicorandil 10 mg Tablet prevents and treats angina, a chest pain caused by the narrowing of blood vessels that supply the heart. When these vessels narrow, the heart doesn’t receive enough oxygen. Nicorandil 5 mg Tablet relaxes and widens the blood vessels, allowing more blood and oxygen to reach the heart. This reduces the pain and discomfort caused by angina, improving your ability to exercise and perform daily activities more easily. To be effective, this medicine must be taken regularly, even if you are not experiencing angina symptoms.

How Nicorandil Tablet Works
