Can I take Magnesium glycinate and Nicorandil together?

Why this happens

Both substances can relax and widen your blood vessels. Nicorandil is a medication specifically designed to do this to treat chest pain (angina). Magnesium also has a natural mild effect on relaxing blood vessels. When used together, these effects can add up, potentially lowering your blood pressure more than expected.

It is generally safe to take these together, but you should be cautious. Monitor your blood pressure regularly if you have a home monitor. To avoid dizziness, try to get up slowly from a sitting or lying position. If you feel very dizzy, stop taking the magnesium and speak with your doctor or pharmacist.
