Nicorandil IP 10 mg is an anti-anginal medication used for the management and prevention of chronic stable angina (chest pain). Nicorandil works through a dual mechanism of action — it acts as a nitrate-like vasodilator and also opens potassium channels. This helps relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow to the heart muscle and reducing the heart’s workload. Nicorandil is commonly prescribed for patients who have coronary artery disease and experience chest pain due to reduced blood supply to the heart. It helps decrease the frequency and severity of angina attacks and improves exercise tolerance. This medication is suitable for long-term angina management under medical supervision.
