Medkart, a leading generic medicine platform in India, has announced the launch of the nation’s most in-demand Nicorandil tablets, which remain stable at room temperature. This innovation eliminates the need for cold-chain storage, reducing logistical challenges and making the medication more accessible and affordable for patients across diverse regions. The product is now available at all Medkart outlets.
Nicorandil is widely prescribed for the treatment of chronic stable angina. Due to its sensitivity to temperature and humidity, its storage has traditionally required stringent cold-chain logistics. This requirement often poses significant challenges, especially in rural and semi-urban areas where maintaining cold-chain infrastructure is difficult.
Medkart’s room-temperature stable Nicorandil tablets are manufactured under WHO-GMP-certified facilities, ensuring high-quality standards. By eliminating the need for refrigeration, the company significantly reduces distribution costs, allowing the medication to be priced up to 80% lower than its branded counterparts.
“Our room-stable Nicorandil is more than a product—it’s an answer to India’s cold chain problem in heart care,” said Ankur Agarwal, co-founder of Medkart. “We’re proving that innovation doesn’t have to be expensive—it has to be relevant.”
Dr Ramesh Mehta, a senior cardiologist based in Ahmedabad, added, “Ensuring that a cardiac drug like Nicorandil remains effective without refrigeration is a major step forward, particularly for patients in remote regions. We’ve long seen efficacy compromised due to storage issues. This advancement will save lives and improve treatment consistency.”
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are a leading cause of mortality in India. According to the Global Burden of Disease Study, heart disease is the leading cause of death among women in India, accounting for almost 18% of all female deaths. Medkart’s launch addresses both cost and accessibility in one formulation.
Medkart’s room-stable Nicorandil tablets are now available at over 35000+ pincodes and online at www.medkart.in.
