What Is The Function Of Nifedipine Sustained-release Tablets

The function of nifedipine sustained-release tablets is to lower blood pressure, and this drug has a relatively good antihypertensive effect, belonging to calcium channel blockers. This drug is suitable for treating various types of hypertension and can also improve myocardial blood supply to a certain extent, with a relatively long duration of efficacy.
After oral administration, nifedipine sustained-release tablets are absorbed through the gastrointestinal tract. The drug components can inhibit the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into the myocardium and smooth muscles in patients, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance, promoting vasodilation, and lowering blood pressure.
Nifedipine sustained-release tablets, as calcium channel blockers, can dilate blood vessels. If coronary arteries dilate after medication, they can improve myocardial blood supply, especially for variant angina, with relatively good therapeutic effects.
However, it should be noted that if symptoms such as increased heart rate, lower limb edema, nausea, vomiting, and rash occur after taking nifedipine sustained-release tablets, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly at the hospital's dermatology or cardiovascular department to determine whether there is an allergic condition. If allergic to the drug, stop taking it immediately and follow the doctor's advice to switch to other medications for treatment.
It is recommended that hypertensive patients eat less greasy and high calorie foods, such as preserved meat, fried chicken, fatty meat, French fries, etc. You can consider eating more low salt and low-fat foods, such as spinach, celery, apples, oranges, etc., which are beneficial for stabilizing blood pressure. If medication is needed, it is recommended to take it under the guidance of a doctor to avoid improper use and harm to physical health.
