What is Nifedipine?
Active Ingredients: Nifedipine
Nifedipine Capsules are a drug for the treatment of high blood pressure and chest pain. Nifedipine is used to reduce the resistance within the blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure. It also works to relax the arteries which supply blood and oxygen to the cardiac muscles, which reduces angina.
Nifedipine belongs to a group of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. The active ingredient works by relaxing blood vessels and the muscles of the heart. The arteries of the feet and hands are widened, which improves blood circulation to the lower extremities. By widening and relaxing the smaller arteries of the body, the pressure at which the heart must push in order to pump blood around the body is significantly reduced.
