Nicorandil: a review of its use in the management of stable angina pectoris, including high-risk patients

Dene Simpson et al. Drugs. 2004.

Abstract

Nicorandil (Adancor, Angicor, Dancor, Nikoril [Europe], Ikorel [Europe and Oceania], Sigmart [Japan, Korea and Taiwan]) is an adenosine triphosphate (ATP)-sensitive potassium (KATP) channel agonist with nitrate-like properties used in the management of stable angina pectoris. With well established monotherapeutic antianginal activity and a beneficial effect (when added to optimal antianginal therapy) on clinical outcomes in high-risk patients with stable angina, twice-daily oral nicorandil is a useful alternative or addition to other antianginal therapy.
