Used to prevent and treat heart-related chest pain (angina)
Description:
Nicorandil IP 5mg is a medication primarily used to manage angina pectoris (chest pain due to heart-related issues). It acts as a vasodilator by opening potassium channels and releasing nitric oxide, which relaxes blood vessels and improves blood flow to the heart muscle. This dual action helps reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks, improving exercise tolerance and quality of life. Nicorandil is often prescribed when other anti-anginal treatments are insufficient or not tolerated.
