Nefidipine is a medication that belongs to a class called calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood around the body. This medication contains the active ingredient nefidipine, which helps in managing conditions like high blood pressure. Nefidipine is suitable for individuals with hypertension or other heart-related issues.
