Description
Fenigydin (Nifedipine) Tablets 0.01 №50
Composition
Active ingredient: Each tablet contains Nifedipine 0.01mg.
Mechanism of Action
Nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker, acts by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions through L-type calcium channels in cardiac and smooth muscle cell membranes. This leads to vasodilation, decreased peripheral vascular resistance, and ultimately, a reduction in blood pressure.
Pharmacological Properties
Nifedipine’s vasodilatory effect results in improved blood flow, reduced cardiac workload, and decreased blood pressure. It is effective in managing hypertension and chronic stable angina.
