About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Fordil 5 Tablet contains Nicorandil 5mg, a medication primarily used to prevent and treat angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. Nicorandil acts as a vasodilator, working by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which improves blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle, thereby reducing the frequency and severity of angina attacks. It combines nitrate-like properties with potassium channel activation, providing a dual mechanism that helps in relieving symptoms associated with coronary artery disease. Fordil 5 is typically prescribed for patients who do not respond adequately to conventional anti-anginal therapies or require additional symptom control. The tablet is usually taken orally, once or twice daily, as directed by a healthcare professional. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, flushing, or gastrointestinal discomfort, but these are generally mild and transient. Patients with low blood pressure, severe liver or kidney impairment, or hypersensitivity to Nicorandil should avoid this medication. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a physician before starting or discontinuing Fordil 5 Tablet to ensure safe and effective treatment.

About Nicorandil
Nicorandil is a potassium-channel activator used to treat angina pectoris in adults who cannot take beta-blockers. Angina is chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. Nicorandil relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood supply to the heart muscle. Its clinical significance lies in reducing angina episodes and improving exercise tolerance. In summary, Nicorandil is essential for managing angina in patients intolerant to other therapies.
How It Works
