Nicordil 5 Tablet 20 contains Nicorandil (5 Mg) which works on the body as follows:

• Potassium Channel Activation: Nicorandil opens ATP sensitive potassium channels in the walls of your blood vessels. This action leads to relaxation and widening of coronary and systemic resistance arterioles, ultimately improving blood flow to your heart.
• Nitrate like Effect: Nicorandil also acts like a nitrate, stimulating an enzyme called guanylate cyclase which increases the level of cGMP inside your cells. This action leads to further relaxation of your blood vessels, similar to how organic nitrates work.
• 
  
• These combined actions of Nicorandil help in reducing cardiac workload and oxygen demand, thereby managing symptoms related to angina pectoris without significantly changing heart rate.

• Store Nicordil 5 Tablet 20 at a stable room temperature below 25°C.
• Ensure you keep the product in its original container, tightly closed to protect it from light and moisture.
• Always place the container in a spot out of reach of children.
• Use the medicine before the expiry date printed on the package.

• Include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and healthy fats in your diet while limiting processed foods, saturated fats, and sodium intake. This can support heart health and help manage angina symptoms.
• Engaging in moderate exercise such as brisk walking or swimming for 30 minutes every day can strengthen your heart and promote better blood circulation. However, always consult your doctor before starting any new exercise regimen.
