Nicorandil is a medication used to treat stable angina, a condition characterized by chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. It works by dilating blood vessels and reducing the pressure on the heart, thereby improving oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
The medication is taken orally, usually in tablet form, and should be used as directed by your doctor. It is important not to exceed the prescribed dose to avoid the risks associated with overdose.
Side effects may include headaches, dizziness, nausea, or facial flushing. In rare cases, oral or gastrointestinal ulcers may occur, requiring discontinuation of treatment and medical consultation.
Patients should inform their doctor about any other medications being used or pre-existing conditions, such as heart failure or hypotension, as these may affect the safety of nicorandil use.
