Depicor 10 MG Capsule 10 contains nifedipine (10 mg), which works on the body as follows:

• Calcium channel blockade: Nifedipine prevents calcium from entering the muscle cells of your heart and blood vessels. This action relaxes and widens your blood vessels, making blood flow easier.

• Vasodilation: Nifedipine relaxes the smooth muscles in arterial walls, causing blood vessels to dilate (widen). This reduces the resistance against which your heart must pump.

• Blood pressure reduction: The widening of blood vessels leads to decreased peripheral vascular resistance, which directly lowers blood pressure.

• Coronary artery dilation: Nifedipine specifically dilates coronary arteries, improving blood supply to heart muscles and preventing angina pain during physical exertion or stress.

• Reduce salt intake: Lowering your salt consumption helps manage high blood pressure (hypertension), which Depicor 10 MG Capsule 10 helps control. Try using herbs and spices instead of salt to flavour your food.
