Nifedipine, the active ingredient in Fenigydin tablets, is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing the blood vessels, thus improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart. Studies have shown that nifedipine is effective in lowering blood pressure and relieving angina symptoms.

Additional Information

It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions carefully when taking Fenigydin tablets. Monitor your blood pressure regularly and report any unusual symptoms to your doctor. Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking nifedipine as it may interact with the medication.

Pharmacological Effects: Nifedipine inhibits the influx of calcium ions through L-type calcium channels in the cell membrane of cardiac and smooth muscle. This action results in vasodilation and decreased peripheral vascular resistance, leading to reduced blood pressure.

Clinical Trials: Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of nifedipine in the management of hypertension and angina. A study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology showed that nifedipine was well-tolerated and effective in reducing blood pressure in patients with essential hypertension.
