About Xanthinol Nicotinate
Xanthinol Nicotinate belongs to the class of 'vasodilators', primarily used to improve peripheral vascular diseases and cerebrovascular disorders. Peripheral vascular disease is a blood circulation disorder that occurs by narrowed blood vessels causing decreased blood flow to the limbs. The cerebrovascular disorder is termed a group of conditions that affect the blood vessels and blood supply to the brain.
Xanthinol Nicotinate consists of Xanthinol Nicotinate that belongs to the class of peripheral vasodilators. It dilates (widens) blood vessels and increases blood flow. This process further improves peripheral and cerebral blood circulation.
Take this medicine as prescribed by the doctor. In some cases, Xanthinol Nicotinate can cause side effects like headache, flushing (feeling warmth in the face, ears, neck and trunk), dizziness, palpitations (irregular heartbeat), stomach upset, nausea, vomiting, dry skin, skin rash, excess thirst, and breathlessness. Most of these side effects of Xanthinol Nicotinate do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. However, if these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking Xanthinol Nicotinate. Please do not stop taking Xanthinol Nicotinate on your own, as it may lead to the recurrence of symptoms or worsen the disease. Do not consume alcohol with Xanthinol Nicotinate as it may increase the risk of low blood pressure.

Patients Concern
Disease/Condition Glossary
Peripheral vascular disease: It is a blood circulation disorder that causes the blood vessels outside the brain and heart to narrow and block. The narrowed blood vessels cause reduced blood flow. It could occur due to the deposition of fat and calcium on the walls of the arteries. Symptoms include pain in the leg, especially while walking. Risk factors of peripheral vascular disease include smoking, ageing, and diabetes.
Cerebral vascular disease: It is a condition that affects the blood vessels and blood supply to the brain. This could lead to a stroke. Symptoms include numbness/paralysis of the face, arm, and leg and trouble walking, understanding, and speaking.
