Description: M&B NIFEDIPINE RETARD 20mg contains nifedipine, a medication used primarily to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). It works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, leading to the relaxation of these muscles and dilatation of blood vessels.

Key Features:
– Extended-Release Formulation: Provides a controlled release of nifedipine for sustained action over a longer period.
– Hypertension Management: Effective in lowering blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels.
– Angina Relief: Reduces the frequency and severity of angina attacks by improving blood flow to the heart muscle.

Side effects: Common side effects include lightheadedness, headache, feeling tired, leg swelling, cough, and shortness of breath.
