Uses of Nifedipine 30 mg sustained release Tablet

What Nifedipine 30 mg Sustained-Release Tablets Are Used For

Nifedipine extended-release tablets 30 mg are basically used in the treatment of hypertension.

1. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

  • Nifedipine helps relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow.
  • This lowers blood pressure and reduces the strain on your heart.
  • Just one tablet a day can help control blood pressure for 24 hours.
  • It works best in people with high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is normal, it usually doesn’t lower it too much.

2. Chest Pain (Angina)

  • Nifedipine improves blood flow to the heart by relaxing the arteries.
  • This helps reduce chest pain caused by poor blood supply to the heart.
  • It’s especially useful for people who experience spasms in the heart’s blood vessels.
