Mechanism of Action

Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells. This action helps relax and widen blood vessels, leading to improved blood circulation. As a result, blood pressure is reduced and the heart’s workload is decreased, helping prevent angina and cardiovascular complications.
