Product Introduction:
Nifedipine is a medication classified as a calcium channel blocker. It is available in various formulations, including extended-release tablets and capsules, and is used to treat several cardiovascular conditions.
Uses:
- Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Nifedipine is commonly prescribed to lower blood pressure in patients with hypertension, helping to reduce the risk of heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
- Angina Pectoris: Nifedipine is also used to treat angina pectoris, a condition characterized by chest pain or discomfort caused by reduced blood flow to the heart muscle.
Benefits:
- Blood Pressure Control: Nifedipine helps relax and widen blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily, which helps reduce high blood pressure.
- Angina Relief: By dilating coronary arteries, Nifedipine increases blood flow to the heart, relieving angina symptoms such as chest pain or pressure.
