Active composition
Nifedipine inhibits L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, leading to vasodilation and reduced blood pressure.
Medical applications
Genericart Nifedipine 20mg Tablet SR contains nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker used primarily in the management of hypertension and angina pectoris. The sustained-release (SR) 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.
This results in lowered blood pressure and relief from angina symptoms. It is indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension, chronic stable angina, and vasospastic angina. The medication should be taken orally, preferably with water, and dosing should be individualized based on clinical response and tolerability. Common adverse effects include headache, flushing, dizziness, and peripheral edema.
Caution is advised in patients with severe hypotension, aortic stenosis, or heart failure. Nifedipine may interact with other antihypertensive agents, CYP3A4 inhibitors, and inducers, necessitating careful monitoring. Regular blood pressure monitoring and clinical assessment are recommended to optimize therapy. Genericart Nifedipine 20mg Tablet SR offers an effective option for long-term cardiovascular management under medical supervision.
