Mayorandil 10 is an effective anti-anginal medication marketed by STERIS Healthcare. Nicorandil is unique because it acts as both a potassium channel opener and a nitrate. This dual mechanism ensures that both the large and small coronary arteries are dilated, significantly improving oxygen supply to the heart muscle.
It is clinically indicated for:
-
Stable Angina Pectoris: Long-term treatment and prevention of chest pain in patients with coronary artery disease.
-
Reduction of Cardiovascular Risk: Helps improve the clinical outcome in patients with chronic stable angina.
-
Symptomatic Relief: Reduces the frequency and severity of angina attacks, especially in patients who do not respond well to other heart medications.
By relaxing the smooth muscles of the blood vessels, Mayorandil 10 ensures that the heart receives enough blood and oxygen even during physical exertion, helping patients lead a more active lifestyle.
