Korandil 10mg Tablet

ABOUT THE DRUG:

Korandil 10 mg contains the active ingredient Nicorandil. It is a vasodilator and is prescribed to treat angina pectoris (chest pain).

USES OF THE DRUG:

Angina is generally caused by the narrowing of one or more arteries that carry blood to the heart. This narrowing down decreases the supply of blood to different parts of the heart muscle. When the heart needs increased supply of oxygen and blood, but does not receive adequate amounts due to the thin arteries, this causes angina pain. The medicine helps to alleviate the pain.
