Cordipin Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure. This medicine works by preventing the transport of calcium ions into the heart and other smooth muscles. This medicine results in the dilation of blood vessels, which decreases the blood pressure.

Description

 Nifedipine, is a dihydropyridine Ca-channel blocker that prevents Ca ions from entering the slow channels or select voltage-sensitive areas of the vascular smooth muscle and myocardium during depolarisation, producing coronary vascular smooth muscle relaxation and coronary vasodilation. It also reduces peripheral and coronary vascular resistance, resulting in increased coronary blood flow, cardiac output and stroke volume while lowering afterload.
Onset: Immediate-release: Approx 20 minutes.
