About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Nikopress 5mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Nicorandil, a medication used primarily in the management of angina pectoris (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart muscle). Nikorandil works by dilating blood vessels, thus improving blood flow to the heart, and by acting on the heart muscle to reduce its oxygen demand. It is recommended to take Nikopress as directed by a healthcare professional. The usual dose is one tablet three times daily, taken 30 minutes before meals. It is important to note that Nikopress should not be used as a first-line treatment for angina and its use should be supervised by a healthcare professional. Common side effects include headache, flushing, and dizziness. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe side effects or an allergic reaction.

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
Nicorandil activates potassium channels in vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation and reduced myocardial oxygen demand.
