About this active substance

Nisoldipine is a calcium channel blocker primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure. It works by relaxing blood vessels, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow.

The medication is taken orally, usually once daily, with the dose adjusted based on the patient's response to treatment. Common side effects include dizziness, headaches, peripheral edema, and facial flushing.

Nisoldipine is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to the active substance or other calcium channel blockers. It should also be used with caution in patients with severe liver impairment.

This medication is an effective option for managing blood pressure, helping to reduce the risk of cardiovascular complications such as heart attack or stroke.
