Expert Advice
Nicorandil has been recommended for you to treat and prevent heart-related chest discomfort (angina). You should take Nicorandil for as long as prescribed. If you notice any bleeding from the anal passage, blood in your vomit, or black stools, consult your doctor. Follow a nutritious diet (low-fat, high-fibre, low-sodium), stop smoking, exercise more, maintain a healthy weight, and minimise stress levels. Nicorandil may cause dizziness and tiredness. Do not operate a motor vehicle or engage in any activity requiring mental concentration until you have evaluated how the medication will affect you. If you're taking Nicorandil, you should avoid alcoholic beverages because they can cause you to be drowsy than usual. Nicorandil resistance may develop over time, reducing the effectiveness of following doses at the same level. Make sure you stick to your regular dose schedule to prevent this. There is a possibility that Nicorandil may cause headaches, but in most cases, these symptoms go away after a few days of continued treatment. If it continues, you should consult a doctor. As Nicorandil may cause low blood pressure, it is important to stop the use of medications (recommended for erectile dysfunction) such as sildenafil or tadalafil.
