Korandil 5 Tablet

Korandil 5 Tablet is prescribed for the prevention and treatment of chest pain related to the heart (angina). It is generally recommended when other medications are not effective or suitable. The medicine lowers the risk of angina by relaxing blood vessels, improving circulation, and ensuring better oxygen supply to the heart.

It can be taken with or without food, but should always be swallowed whole with water at the same time each day. The dosage is determined by your doctor based on your condition. Do not discontinue it suddenly without consulting your doctor, as chest pain may return. Along with treatment, lifestyle changes such as avoiding smoking, limiting alcohol, eating a healthy diet, exercising, and managing stress can support heart health.

Headache is the most common side effect, especially during the first few days, but usually settles within a week. Drinking enough fluids and avoiding alcohol can help reduce discomfort. Other possible side effects include dizziness, weakness, nausea, vomiting, and flushing (warm sensation in face, ears, or neck). Inform your doctor if these persist or become troublesome.

This medicine may not be suitable for people with a history of low blood pressure, heart failure, or those taking certain other medications (like drugs for erectile dysfunction). It is usually not advised during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless prescribed by a doctor.
