About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Zikduce 5 Tablet contains Nicorandil 5 mg, a potent vasodilatory agent used primarily in the management of angina pectoris. Nicorandil acts through a dual mechanism: it opens ATP-sensitive potassium channels and donates nitric oxide, leading to both arterial and venous vasodilation. This results in reduced myocardial oxygen demand by decreasing preload and afterload, thereby alleviating chest pain associated with ischemic heart disease. Zikduce 5 is indicated for the prophylaxis and treatment of chronic stable angina and is particularly beneficial in patients who are refractory to or intolerant of conventional anti-anginal therapies. The drug is absorbed rapidly after oral administration, with a bioavailability that supports twice-daily dosing. It is metabolized primarily in the liver and excreted via the kidneys. Common adverse effects include headache, dizziness, flushing, and gastrointestinal disturbances, which are generally mild and transient. Caution is advised in patients with hypotension, severe hepatic or renal impairment, and those concurrently using other vasodilators or phosphodiesterase inhibitors. Zikduce 5 should be prescribed under medical supervision with regular monitoring to optimize therapeutic outcomes and minimize risks. It is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to Nicorandil or nitrate therapy.

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.
