Nifedipine sustained release tablets IP 20 mg are used to treat various cardiovascular conditions, including:

• 1. Hypertension (high blood pressure): to reduce blood pressure and prevent complications like heart attack, stroke, and kidney disease.
  2. Angina pectoris (stable angina): to reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
  3. Chronic stable angina: to improve exercise tolerance and reduce angina symptoms.
  4. Coronary artery disease: to reduce the risk of heart attack and improve overall cardiovascular health.
  5. Raynaud’s disease: to improve blood flow to the fingers and toes.

   

  Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, works by:

   

  1. Relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing blood pressure.
  2. Reducing the heart’s workload and oxygen demand, relieving angina symptoms.

   

  The sustained-release formulation releases the medication gradually, providing a steady dose over a 24-hour period, making it suitable for once-daily administration. Always consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
