Angedil Tablet ( Nicorandil )
Angedil Tablet contains Nicorandil, a medicine used to treat angina (chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart). It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart. This helps in preventing chest pain episodes and supporting better heart function.
Product Overview
Angedil Tablet contains Nicorandil, a prescription medicine used for the prevention and long-term management of angina pectoris (chest pain due to reduced oxygen supply to the heart muscle). Angina usually occurs when the heart does not receive enough oxygen-rich blood, often due to narrowed or tightened blood vessels.
Nicorandil works in a unique dual way. First, it helps relax and widen blood vessels by acting on potassium channels in smooth muscle cells. Second, it increases nitric oxide activity, which further helps blood vessels relax and improves blood flow to the heart. Together, these actions reduce pressure inside the blood vessels and allow more oxygen to reach the heart muscle.
By improving oxygen supply and reducing the heart’s workload, Angedil Tablet helps prevent chest pain episodes and improves exercise tolerance in patients with stable angina. It is generally used as a long-term preventive medicine rather than for immediate relief of sudden chest pain.
With regular use under medical supervision, Nicorandil helps improve quality of life in patients with chronic heart conditions by supporting better blood circulation and reducing angina attacks.
