Uses of  Nifedipine XR (extended-release)

Nifedipine XR is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing blood vessels and reducing the heart’s workload.

  • Angina (Chest Pain) – Improves blood flow to the heart by dilating coronary arteries, reducing the risk of chest pain.
  • Raynaud’s Phenomenon – Relieves symptoms by improving blood circulation to the fingers and toes.
