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

• Blocks Calcium Entry: Nifedipine blocks the entry of calcium ions into the heart muscle and smooth muscle cells of blood vessels. Calcium is needed for these muscles to contract.

• Relaxes Blood Vessels: By reducing the entry of calcium, nifedipine relaxes and widens (dilates) the blood vessels. This makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.

• Lowers Blood Pressure: The relaxation and widening of blood vessels effectively lower blood pressure.

• Prevents Angina Attacks: Improved blood flow to the heart helps in preventing angina attacks caused by reduced blood supply.

• Keep it in a place protected from light and moisture to prevent damage.

• Ensure the medicine is stored out of reach of children.

• Always check the expiry date and use before it.

• Maintain a low-salt diet: Excessive salt can raise your blood pressure, counteracting the benefits of Nicardia 10 Capsule.

• Regular physical activity: Engaging in exercise like walking or cycling helps manage high blood pressure, improving the effectiveness of this medicine.
