Description:
Nifedipine 20mg Sustained Release (SR) tablets are used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (chest pain). As a calcium channel blocker, Nifedipine relaxes and widens blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the heart’s workload. The sustained release formulation provides a steady release of the drug over 24 hours, ensuring prolonged blood pressure control and consistent angina relief with once-daily dosing. This helps improve patient adherence and minimizes side effects linked to rapid drug absorption.
Tags:
- Controls blood pressure effectively for 24 hours
- Reduces angina attacks and improves exercise tolerance
- Relaxes blood vessels, decreasing cardiac workload
- Convenient once-daily dosing enhances adherence
- Sustained release minimizes peak-related side effects
