Nikos 5 Tablet is taken orally.

Nikos 5 Tablet contains nicorandil (5 mg), which influences your body in the following ways:

• Opens ATP-sensitive potassium channels: Nicorandil initiates a process called hyperpolarisation. This relaxes the smooth muscle cells in your blood vessels.

• Releases nitric oxide: Just like nitrates, nicorandil has the ability to release nitric oxide in your body. This further dilates your blood vessels.

The combination of these actions results in a decreased workload for your heart, better blood flow through your coronary artery, and reduced instances of myocardial ischemia. The efficiency of Nikos 5 Tablet in managing angina can be attributed to this dual mode of action.

• Keep Nikos 5 Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 20-25°C.

• Safeguard the medicine from light and moisture for optimal preservation.

• Store in a tightly sealed container, out of the reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date on the label before use and do not consume if it's past the stated date.

• Regular physical activity can help manage angina, as it increases blood flow to the heart. However, always consult your doctor about the type and amount of exercise that's safe for you.

• A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains can help maintain a healthy weight and lower your risk of heart disease. Avoid high-fat or high-sodium foods which can exacerbate angina symptoms.
