Scottish Medical Journal
L MokoolS K Nalagatla

Abstract

Nicorandil, a nicotinamide ester, is used in the prevention of angina pectoris. There is now a well-established association of perianal ulceration and the use of the drug. However, in the recent years, there have been reports of penile skin, vulval and even vaginal ulcers caused by nicorandil. We report three cases of nicorandil-induced penile ulcers which were surgically managed, and present a review of current literature.
