Frequently Asked Questions
What is Nikoran 5mg used for?
Nikoran 5mg contains nicorandil, which is used to prevent and treat chest pain (angina) caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
How does Nikoran work?
Nikoran works by dilating (widening) the blood vessels in the heart, improving blood and oxygen supply, and reducing the heart's workload. This helps to relieve and prevent angina attacks.
What is the usual dosage of Nikoran?
The usual starting dose is 5mg taken twice daily, but your doctor may adjust the dose based on your response and medical condition. Always take Nikoran exactly as prescribed.
What are the possible side effects of Nikoran?
Common side effects include headache, flushing, dizziness, weakness, and nausea. Rare but serious side effects can include mouth ulcers, low blood pressure, or severe skin reactions. Tell your doctor if you experience persistent or severe symptoms.
Is Nikoran safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Nikoran is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless your doctor considers it essential. Discuss with your doctor if you are pregnant, planning pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
Can Nikoran be taken with other medications?
Nikoran can interact with other medicines, especially those for blood pressure, erectile dysfunction (such as sildenafil), and certain pain medications. Always inform your doctor about all the medicines you are taking.
What precautions should be taken while using Nikoran?
- Do not stop taking Nikoran suddenly without consulting your doctor.
- Be cautious if you have low blood pressure, heart failure, or liver/kidney problems.
- Avoid driving or operating machinery if you feel dizzy or weak.
What should I do if I miss a dose?
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue as usual. Do not take a double dose.
How should Nikoran be stored?
Store Nikoran tablets at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and direct sunlight. Keep the medicine out of reach of children.
When should I contact my doctor while taking Nikoran?
Contact your doctor if you experience severe headaches, mouth ulcers, signs of an allergic reaction (such as rash or difficulty breathing), or if your chest pain worsens or does not improve.
