Frequently asked questions about Nicorandil
Q. What class of drug is Nicorandil and what is it used for?
Nicorandil belongs to a class of medicines known as “potassium channel openers”. It helps in the removal of potassium from the walls of arteries resulting in widening of the arteries. This decreases the workload of the heart to pump the blood. It also improves the blood and oxygen supply to your heart muscle. It is prescribed to patients of stable angina (heart-related chest pain) who cannot take other medicines (beta blockers, calcium channel antagonist) meant for angina.
Q. Can I stop taking Nicorandil?
No, you should not stop taking Nicorandil without speaking to your doctor first. If you stop Nicorandil suddenly, your anginal pain may recur. Talk to your doctor if you are experiencing any side effects.
Q. How long does it take Nicorandil to start working?
Nicorandil starts working after about an hour of taking the medicine, but full benefits may be seen only after 4 to 5 days.
Q. For how long do I need to continue Nicorandil?
Continue taking your medicine for as long as your doctor tells you. Nicorandil is generally prescribed for a long term. You may even need to take it for the rest of your life.
Q. Who should not use Nicorandil?
People who are allergic to Nicorandil or any of its ingredients should avoid using this medicine. Also, patients who have heart problems such as cardiogenic shock or left ventricular failure with low filling pressure or cardiac decompensation or have a build-up of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema) should not use Nicorandil. Additionally, patients taking medicines to treat erectile dysfunction (e.g., sildenafil, tadalafil, and vardenafil) or medicines to treat pulmonary hypertension (e.g., riociguat) should not use the medication. Your blood pressure may be affected if these medicines are taken with Nicorandil or if you have low blood volume.
Q. Can I take Nicorandil if I am taking aspirin?
