Nifedipine

Nifedipine is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). It belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers, which relax and widen blood vessels by affecting calcium flow in the heart and blood vessel walls. This helps lower blood pressure and reduces the heart's workload, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery. Nifedipine is usually taken orally and can help prevent or control symptoms related to heart and blood vessel conditions. It’s important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions when taking this medication.
