Nikoran 5 Tablet

About

Nikoran 5 Tablet contains Nicorandil, a potent vasodilator used in the management of stable angina pectoris. Nicorandil exerts its therapeutic effects through a dual mechanism of action: it acts as a potassium channel opener and also possesses nitrate-like properties by increasing cyclic GMP levels. This unique combination leads to both arterial and venous dilation, effectively reducing cardiac preload and afterload. By dilating coronary arteries, it improves myocardial blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscle, particularly in ischemic areas. This action helps to alleviate the symptoms of angina, such as chest pain, and improves exercise tolerance in patients with coronary artery disease. Nikoran 5 Tablet is a crucial medication for symptomatic relief and prevention of angina attacks.
