Nicardipine Hydrochloride Sustained Release Capsules

Function and Efficacy

This product is a calcium ion antagonist. It exerts a vasodilating effect by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells, thereby lowering blood pressure. This product has a high degree of vascular selectivity, and its calcium ion antagonist effect on vascular smooth muscle is 30,000 times stronger than its effect on myocardium. At the same time, it has shown a sodium excretion and diuretic effect in dog and rat experiments; it has also shown an effect of dilating the vertebral artery, coronary artery, femoral artery, and renal artery in anesthetized dogs; this product can increase the blood flow of major organs such as the brain, heart, and kidneys, and has a precise and lasting antihypertensive effect. Long-term use will not produce drug resistance, and it can inhibit the progression of myocardial hypertrophy caused by hypertension and prevent the occurrence of cerebral stroke.
