• Nicardia tablet contains Nifedipine, which is classified as an calcium channel blockers, belonging to a group of drugs used to treat high blood pressure. It works by blocking the entry of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. Calcium is an essential mineral that is vital in many bodily functions, including muscle contraction and nerve function. In the cardiovascular system, calcium regulates the contraction and relaxation of the smooth muscles in the blood vessels and heart.
• By blocking calcium entry into the cells, Nicardia causes relaxation of the smooth muscles in the blood vessels, which leads to the dilation of the blood vessels. This results in reduced blood pressure and increased blood flow to the heart and other organs. Nicardia also reduces the workload on the heart by decreasing the amount of oxygen needed by the heart muscle, which can help to reduce chest pain (angina) and improve symptoms in certain types of irregular heartbeats (arrhythmias).
