Nicostar OD 10 Tablet contains nicorandil (10 mg), which influences your body in the following ways:

• Activates ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels: Nicorandil activates ATP-sensitive potassium channels present in the smooth muscle cells lining your blood vessels. This leads to relaxation and widening of the blood vessels, enhancing blood flow to the heart muscle.

• Releases Nitric Oxide: Nicorandil has a nitrate-like effect, meaning it encourages the release of nitric oxide in your body. This gas helps in the dilation of veins and arteries, reducing the workload of your heart and its oxygen demand.
