Uses of Nicostar 10 mg Tablet

Treatment of Angina (heart-related chest pain)

Benefits of Nicostar 10 mg Tablet

In Heart conditions
Nicostar supports the heart's rhythm, blood supply or pumping strength, depending on the condition it was prescribed for. Taken regularly, it reduces symptoms and lowers the chance of a hospital admission.
In Angina
Nicostar improves the blood supply to the heart muscle or reduces its workload, so chest pain comes on less often and you can do more before it starts.
In Irregular heartbeat
Nicostar helps the heart keep a regular rhythm, easing palpitations and the breathlessness or light-headedness that an uneven heartbeat causes.

How Nicostar 10 mg Tablet works

Nicostar 10 Tablet is a vasodilator. It works by reducing the workload of the heart. As a result, heart muscle does not need as much blood and oxygen supply. This reduces the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
