About Nifedipine
Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker and one of the most widely used blood pressure medications in Nigeria. It belongs to the dihydropyridine class, the same family as amlodipine, and works by blocking the influx of calcium ions through L-type calcium channels in the smooth muscle cells of blood vessel walls. Calcium is needed for muscle contraction — by blocking its entry, nifedipine causes the blood vessel walls to relax and widen (vasodilate), which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow. Nifedipine primarily acts on blood vessels rather than the heart, making it an effective and well-tolerated antihypertensive in most patients.
