Nicorex 20 MG Tablet 10 is used in adults for the management of angina pectoris (chest pain) associated with coronary artery disease. It belongs to the class of medicines called vasodilators.
It helps reduce both the frequency and severity of angina attacks by dilating blood vessels and improving blood supply to the heart muscle. This medicine is meant for long-term use to prevent angina episodes and is not intended to provide immediate relief during sudden angina attacks. For acute chest pain, fast-acting nitrate preparations should be used as prescribed by your doctor.
Before starting Nicorex 20 MG Tablet 10, consult your doctor. The dosage and treatment duration will be based on your overall health, heart function, and treatment response. If you experience unusual side effects or worsening of chest pain, seek immediate medical advice.
