Nicardia Retard 10 Tablet contains nifedipine (10 mg). Here's how it acts on your body:

• Calcium Ion Inhibition: Nifedipine blocks the movement of calcium ions into your vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells.
• Vasodilation: By preventing calcium ions from entering these cells, nifedipine causes your blood vessels to relax and widen, effectively reducing peripheral vascular resistance and lowering your blood pressure.
• Angina Prevention: By reducing the heart's workload and improving blood flow to the heart muscle, nifedipine helps prevent angina, a condition characterised by chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart.
