Alcoran 5 MG Description

Alcoran 5mg tablet contains Nicorandil as the primary molecule. Alcoran 5mg tablet is a vasodilator, a type of drug used to prevent or treat angina pectoris in individuals who cannot take beta-blocke

rs (blood pressure-lowering pills). Angina pectoris is a type of chest pain caused by reduced cardiac blood flow. It's a sign that you have coronary artery disease. It's given when other heart medications aren't suited or aren't working. It widens blood arteries and improves blood flow to the heart, lowering the likelihood of an angina attack. Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, headache and dizziness. If you observe these symptoms for a long time, inform your doctor immediately. Follow the dose and duration as advised by the doctor. If you missed a dose, take it as soon as you remember or at your usual time. Do not take more than the recommended dose a day.
