Dr. Li Man
Nicorandil can be used to treat unstable angina. Patients experiencing unstable angina should seek immediate medical attention and use medications under a doctor's guidance. Blind or unguided use of medication cannot control the condition and may instead worsen it. It is recommended that patients maintain a light diet in daily life and avoid spicy and greasy foods.
