Introduction

NIFEDULES 5 is a fast-acting nifedipine 5 mg tablet used in the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (chest pain). Nifedipine belongs to the class of medications called calcium channel blockers (CCBs), which help relax blood vessels and improve blood flow to the heart. This action helps reduce blood pressure and prevents chest pain caused by coronary artery spasms or exertion.

What is Nifedipine 5 mg?

Nifedipine 5 mg is the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in NIFEDULES 5, available in tablet form. It works by blocking calcium influx into the muscle cells of the heart and arteries, resulting in relaxation of vascular smooth muscle and a reduction in vascular resistance. This leads to lowered blood pressure and decreased oxygen demand of the heart.

Uses of NIFEDULES 5 (Nifedipine 5 mg Tab)

1. Hypertension (High Blood Pressure)

• NIFEDULES 5 helps lower elevated blood pressure, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems.

2. Chronic Stable Angina

• Reduces the frequency and severity of chest pain episodes by improving blood flow to the heart muscle.

3. Vasospastic (Prinzmetal's) Angina

• Effective in relieving coronary artery spasms that lead to sudden chest pain.

4. Raynaud's Phenomenon (off-label)

• In select cases, nifedipine is used to reduce frequency and severity of Raynaud's attacks due to vasodilation.

How NIFEDULES 5 (Nifedipine 5 mg Tablet) Works

Nifedipine inhibits the influx of calcium ions into smooth muscle cells of the arteries and heart. This results in:

• Vasodilation: Relaxation of arterial walls, reducing blood pressure

• Reduced Cardiac Workload: Lower oxygen demand by the heart muscle

• Improved Coronary Blood Flow: Helpful in managing angina

Dosage and Administration

• Usual adult dose: 5 mg orally 2 to 3 times daily or as directed by the physician.

• Route: Oral

• Form: Tablet

• Note: Do not crush or chew unless advised. Should be taken preferably after food.
