Nicostar OD 10mg Tablet PR

Introduction

Nicostar OD 10mg Tablet PR 30s is a vasodilatory drug that functions through potassium channels and intracellular cGMP concentrations commonly used to treat angina.

It relaxes coronary blood vessel muscles by boosting cyclic GMP levels and activating potassium channels, causing vessel dilation. It is used in the treatment of angina (heart-related chest pain) and also as a vasodilator.

It should be taken orally with food. Use it carefully in patients with severe liver problems and those with low blood pressure or at risk of severe low blood pressure, including shock.

Patients prescribed it should adhere to their healthcare provider's recommendations regarding dosage and duration of treatment.

It is crucial to report any persistent symptoms or adverse effects promptly.

How it works

Nicostar OD 10mg Tablet PR helps both in preventing and treating angina, which is chest pain caused by narrow blood vessels supplying the heart. When these vessels narrow, the heart doesn't get enough oxygen, leading to pain. Tablet relaxes and widens these blood vessels, allowing more blood and oxygen to reach the heart. This lessens the pain and discomfort from angina, making it easier for you to exercise and carry out daily activities. It's important to take this medicine regularly, even if you're not experiencing angina symptoms, for it to work effectively.
