Nifedipine 10 mg SR is a sustained-release formulation of nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing the workload on the heart. This medication is primarily used to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart). Its sustained-release (SR) form ensures gradual release of the drug over time, providing long-lasting effects and maintaining consistent blood levels, which helps in better blood pressure control and reduced frequency of dosing.
