Ikodil 10mg Tablets

Ikodil 10mg Tablets contains Nicorandil 10mg, a potassium channel opener used for angina. Made by Obs-pharma Ltd, it is prescribed for angina prevention and stable angina. Pack size: 10 tablets.

Uses of Ikodil 10mg Tablets

Ikodil 10mg Tablets is used to prevent chest pain (angina) in people with coronary heart disease, usually when other angina medicines such as beta-blockers or calcium channel blockers are unsuitable or have not controlled symptoms well enough. It is taken regularly to reduce how often attacks happen and is not meant to relieve an attack that has already started.

How Ikodil 10mg Tablets works

Nicorandil has two actions. It opens potassium channels in the muscle of blood vessel walls and also works in a similar way to a nitrate, so both arteries and veins relax and widen. This improves blood flow to the heart muscle and reduces the amount of work the heart has to do.

Possible side effects

Headache is the side effect people notice most with Ikodil 10mg Tablets, and it often eases after the first days. Other common effects are:

• Headache
• Flushing
• Dizziness
• Nausea or vomiting
• Feeling weak

Contact your doctor promptly about any ulcers in the mouth, on the skin, around the anus or in the gut, as treatment may need to stop; get emergency help for chest pain that does not settle or for fainting.

Precautions and warnings

• Never take Ikodil 10mg Tablets with sildenafil, tadalafil or similar erectile dysfunction medicines, as the combination can cause a dangerous fall in blood pressure.
• Tell your doctor if you have low blood pressure, heart failure or a history of ulcers, or if you take aspirin, anti-inflammatory painkillers or steroids, which increase the risk of gut ulcers and bleeding.
• Ask your doctor before stopping it because of headaches, as they commonly settle with time.
• Avoid driving or using machinery if you feel dizzy, and be careful with alcohol, which adds to its blood pressure-lowering effect.
• If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, discuss whether it is suitable with your doctor.

Storage

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it in the original pack until use. Keep all medicines out of the reach of children.
