Nifedipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker primarily used for the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris. It causes vasodilation by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. It is an approved drug and remains widely used in clinical practice.
Pharmacokinetics
Pharmacokinetic parameters in healthy adult volunteers after a single oral immediate-release dose.
