Nicorandil

Uses

Nicorandil is used in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), angina (heart-related chest pain), and heart failure.

How it Works

How Nicorandil works Nicorandil is a vasodilator that reduces the workload of the heart. Consequently, the heart muscle requires less blood and oxygen, which decreases the frequency and severity of angina attacks.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Nicorandil include headache, dizziness, flushing (a sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), palpitations, gastrointestinal ulcers, eye ulcers, and skin ulcers.

Expert Advice

You must continue to take Nicorandil as advised, usually for an extended period.
Nicorandil may cause headaches. Drink plenty of water and take a suitable painkiller. Inform your doctor if the headache does not resolve.
Nicorandil may cause dizziness or sleepiness. Do not drive or engage in activities that require concentration until you know how it affects you.
Avoid consuming alcohol while taking Nicorandil, as it may increase dizziness.
Do not take medications such as sildenafil or tadalafil (prescribed for erectile dysfunction) while on treatment with Nicorandil, as this may lead to low blood pressure.
Inform your doctor if you notice any bleeding from the anal passage, blood in vomit, or black stools.

Individuals allergic to Nicorandil or its components, those with specific heart conditions (such as cardiogenic shock, left ventricular failure, or pulmonary edema), and patients taking medications for erectile dysfunction or pulmonary hypertension should avoid Nicorandil due to potential adverse effects on blood pressure.

Does Nicorandil impact sexual health?

Nicorandil does not affect sexual function, but it is not recommended to use erectile dysfunction medications concurrently, as this may cause a significant drop in blood pressure.

How quickly does Nicorandil take effect?

Nicorandil begins to work within about an hour, but maximum benefits may not be realized until after 4 to 5 days of use.

Is it safe to take Nicorandil with aspirin?

It is advisable to avoid combining Nicorandil with aspirin, as this can increase the risk of ulcers or bleeding in the gastrointestinal tract. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice blood in your stool or vomit while on Nicorandil.

Is it safe to stop taking Nicorandil abruptly?

No, you should not discontinue Nicorandil without consulting your doctor first, as sudden cessation may lead to a recurrence of anginal pain. Discuss any side effects with your healthcare provider.

What should be done in case of Nicorandil overdose?

If someone takes an excessive amount of Nicorandil, they should be taken to the hospital immediately. Symptoms may include weakness, dizziness, and irregular or rapid heartbeat.

What is the recommended duration for taking Nicorandil?

You should continue taking Nicorandil for as long as your doctor advises, as it is typically prescribed for long-term use, potentially for life.

What class of drug is Nicorandil and what is its purpose?

Nicorandil is classified as a potassium channel opener, which facilitates potassium removal from arterial walls, leading to artery dilation. This reduces the heart's workload and enhances blood and oxygen supply to the heart muscle. It is primarily prescribed for patients with stable angina who cannot tolerate other angina medications such as beta blockers or calcium channel antagonists.
