Nifetab SR is a calcium channel blocker. In high blood pressure, it normalizes the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels to reduce the pressure on them, thereby improving the blood flow in the body. The enhanced blood flow in the body further relaxes the heart muscles by reducing the workload on the heart. It also improves the oxygen flow in the body, thereby, preventing any heart-related chest pain.

Mode of Action
Nifedipine prevents Ca ion from entering the slow channels of cardiac and smooth muscles during depolarisation, producing peripheral and coronary vasodilatation. It reduces afterload, peripheral resistance and BP; increases coronary blood flow and causes reflex tachycardia. It has little or no effect on cardiac conduction and rarely has negative inotropic activity.
Precaution
Patients w/ hypotension, poor cardiac reserve, heart failure, severe aortic stenosis, DM, underlying severe GI narrowing (extended-release tab). Avoid abrupt withdrawal as it may casue rebound angina. Hepatic impairment. Elderly. Pregnancy and lactation. Patient Counselling Discontinue if ischaemic pain follows after admin. Monitoring Parameters Monitor BP, heart rate. Lactation: Drug is distributed into breast milk; manufacturer suggests discontinuing drug or refraining from nursing (however, American Academy of Pediatrics states that drug is safe for nursing)
