Mednicco 10
(Nicorandil 10mg)
Vasodilatory Angina Relief
Dual Mechanism
Stable Hemodynamics
Mednicco contains Nicorandil, a vasodilatory agent that works by relaxing blood vessels and improving oxygen supply to the heart. It is widely used in the treatment and prevention of chronic stable angina pectoris (chest pain due to poor blood flow). Its dual mechanism helps reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks, making it a trusted option in long-term cardiac care.
Uses:
- Long-term management of chronic stable angina pectoris
- Can be used alone or in combination with other anti-anginal medications
- Often recommended when other anti-anginal drugs are not tolerated
Key Benefits:
- Relieves and prevents chest pain associated with stable angina
- Enhances blood supply to the heart muscle
- Reduces cardiac workload and oxygen demand
- Useful in patients who cannot tolerate beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers
How It Works
- Nicorandil works through a dual mechanism:
- Acts like nitrates to dilate veins and reduce heart preload
- Opens potassium channels, leading to arterial dilation and reduced afterload
- This dual action improves oxygen delivery and reduces the heart’s workload, easing angina symptoms
Common Side Effects
- Headache (common, especially early in therapy)
- Dizziness or lightheadedness
- Nausea
- Flushing
- Fatigue
Safety Warnings
- Pregnancy: Use only if clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. Safety in pregnancy is not well established.
- Lactation: Not advised.
- Children: Not recommended for pediatric use.
