Scientific Evidence:

Nifedipine, the active ingredient in Nifecard-XL, is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing and widening blood vessels. This action helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the heart muscle, reducing the workload on the heart.

Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of nifedipine in the treatment of hypertension and angina. A study published in the Journal of Clinical Pharmacology showed that nifedipine effectively reduced blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

Additional Information:

It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and not to discontinue the medication abruptly. Consult your healthcare provider before starting Nifecard-XL, especially if you have any underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.

If you experience any severe side effects such as dizziness, shortness of breath, or swelling of the face, seek immediate medical attention.
