Here you gave prescribed enalepril and nicorandil drug.
Enalapril helps in reducing blood pressure which is necessary in case of portal hypertension induced by cirrhosis.
The nicorandil is pottasium channel blocker which help in improving blood circulation to heart and preventing further heart damage.
These drugs can lead nausea , diarrhea, rash , headache etc side effect.
But your doctor have prescribed these drug after examining you.And they are helpful in cirrhosis .so you can take.
Meanwhile to control cirrhosis avoid fatty diet and do regular exercise.Take green leafy vegetables.Take more fruits.Take more water.avoid trans fat.Avoid refined and processed food.
If bleeding occur by variceal rupture immediately contact doctor.
If ascitis present diuretic can be added.
Wish you good health
