Overview

Nicardipine is a medication classified as a calcium channel blocker. It is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). Nicardipine works by inhibiting the influx of calcium into smooth muscle cells, leading to relaxation and dilation of the blood vessels, which results in lowered blood pressure and improved blood flow to the heart.
