What advice should I give to someone taking nicorandil?
- Advise people taking nicorandil that they should not drive or operate machinery until it is established that nicorandil does not impair their performance.
- Advise the person that if they develop symptoms suggestive of gastrointestinal ulceration, they should seek medical advice. Although these adverse effects are rare, they are frequently missed.
