Hi,
Nikoran 5mg tablet contains the active ingredient Nicorandil, which is used to treat angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart. The common side effects of Nikoran 5mg tablets include headache, dizziness, flushing, and low blood pressure.
However, if you experience severe headaches and pain in the back of your head after taking the medication, it may be a sign of a serious side effect and you should consult your doctor immediately. Your doctor may recommend an alternative medication or adjust the dosage of Nikoran to alleviate your symptoms. Do not stop taking the medication without consulting your doctor as it may worsen your condition.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
