Nicorandil (48mg)
Nikoran IV 48 Injection is administered in a hospital or clinical environment under strict medical supervision. It is not meant for self-use. The dosage and timing will be carefully decided by your doctor, depending on your specific medical needs and response to treatment. After completing the course with this injection, you may be switched to oral medication for continued treatment. Supporting your heart health goes beyond medication—adopting a healthy lifestyle can make a big difference. Quitting smoking, limiting alcohol intake, following a nutritious diet, staying physically active, and managing stress are all beneficial. The most commonly reported side effect is headache, particularly during the initial days of therapy. This is typically temporary and may subside within a week. Drinking plenty of water and avoiding alcohol can help ease this discomfort. Other commonly observed side effects include dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, mouth or stomach ulcers, palpitations, and a flushing sensation (warmth in the face, neck, chest, or ears). If any of these become persistent or bothersome, consult your doctor. Nikoran IV 48 may not be suitable for everyone. Let your doctor know if you have low blood pressure, kidney dysfunction, or fluid accumulation in the lungs. It is also important to inform your healthcare provider about any other medicines you're taking, as drug interactions can occur. In particular, avoid using medications for erectile dysfunction alongside Nikoran, as this can lead to serious health risks. This injection is generally not advised during pregnancy or while breastfeeding unless specifically prescribed. Alcohol consumption may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect of this medicine, so it should be limited. Your doctor may also recommend avoiding salt substitutes, which could interfere with treatment.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about themCommon side effects of Nikoran
