Nicofuranose is a type of cardiovascular drug used to treat heart failure and other cardiovascular diseases. It is a derivative of furanose, a type of sugar molecule, and is known for its ability to reduce the risk of death from heart failure. Nicofuranose works by blocking the action of an enzyme called angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE), which is responsible for the production of a hormone called angiotensin II. This hormone is responsible for narrowing the blood vessels, which can lead to high blood pressure and other cardiovascular problems. By blocking the action of ACE, nicofuranose helps to reduce the risk of death from heart failure. Nicofuranose is available in both oral and intravenous forms, and is typically prescribed in combination with other medications. It is generally well-tolerated, with few side effects. Some companies in the Nicofuranose market include Novartis, Merck, Pfizer, and Sanofi. Show Less Read more
