Nicostar 5mg Bottle Of 20 Tablets
Nicostar 5 MG Description
Nicostar 5 mg tablet is a vasodilator, a type of medication used to prevent or treat angina pectoris (chest pain caused by a heart condition) in people who cannot take beta-blockers (blood pressure-l
owering pills). A decrease in cardiac blood flow causes angina pectoris. The active ingredient in Nicostar 5 mg tablets is Nicorandil, a potassium-channel activator. It relaxes muscle cells and opens blood vessels by opening potassium channels on muscle cells within blood vessel walls. As a result, Nicostar 5 mg tablets make it easier for the heart to circulate blood around the body, requiring less oxygen. Nicostar 5 mg tablet also helps prevent angina by boosting oxygen and blood supply to the heart muscle by expanding coronary arteries within the heart. Directions for use of Nicostar 5 mg tablets should be strictly followed. Please inform your doctor if you are allergic to Nicostar 5 mg tablets or other medications. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, avoid using Nicostar 5 mg tablets and seek medical advice.
