Active composition
Nifedipine inhibits L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.
Medical applications
Genericart Nifedipine 10mg Tablet SR contains nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker used primarily in the management of hypertension and angina pectoris. This sustained-release formulation ensures a gradual release of the active ingredient, providing prolonged therapeutic effects and improved patient compliance by reducing dosing frequency. Nifedipine acts by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions through L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, leading to vasodilation and decreased myocardial oxygen demand.
It effectively lowers blood pressure by relaxing arterial smooth muscle, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance. In angina, nifedipine improves coronary blood flow and reduces the workload on the heart, alleviating chest pain. Genericart Nifedipine 10mg Tablet SR is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension, chronic stable angina, and variant angina. It should be administered under medical supervision, with dosage adjustments based on clinical response and tolerability.
Common adverse effects may include headache, flushing, dizziness, and peripheral edema. Caution is advised in patients with severe hypotension, heart failure, or hepatic impairment.
