Korandil 5mg Tablet contains Nicorandil 5mg, a medication belonging to the group known as potassium channel activators. It is prescribed for adults to manage and reduce the painful symptoms of angina pectoris, especially for those who cannot use other common heart medicines like beta-blockers or calcium antagonists.

Angina pectoris is a temporary chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle. While not typically a heart attack itself, it signals an increased risk. Symptoms often include a squeezing pressure, heaviness, tightness, or pain in the chest, which can appear suddenly or recur over time.

Before starting Korandil 5mg Tablet, inform your doctor if you have any lung conditions like pulmonary oedema (fluid in the lungs), liver problems, or kidney issues.
