Composition

Nifedipine (30 Mg)

Nicardia CD Retard 30 Tablet is primarily used for managing high blood pressure (hypertension) and preventing angina, a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. This medicine belongs to a class of medicines known as calcium channel blockers.

Apart from managing hypertension and preventing angina, this medicine is also beneficial in cases where there's a need for improved blood flow. It aids in relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely, thus reducing the overall workload on the heart.

Before you start taking this medicine, it is essential to consult your doctor to understand the right dosage and frequency for you. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications to avoid any potential conflicts. If you experience any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. For optimal results, continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor.

How Nicardia Cd Retard 30 Tablet 10 Works?

Nicardia CD Retard 30 Tablet contains Nifedipine (30 mg), which works on your body in the following ways:

Reduction of Blood Pressure: By relaxing and widening the blood vessels, Nifedipine allows blood to flow more freely. As a result, the blood pressure is reduced, and the overall workload on the heart is decreased, thus preventing angina attacks.
