Used primarily in the management of hypertension, this compound acts as a long-acting calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels, leading to lowered blood pressure. Its slow onset and prolonged action contribute to smooth and sustained antihypertensive effects without causing abrupt drops in blood pressure. Due to its antioxidant properties, it may also help reduce vascular oxidative stress, offering potential benefits in protecting blood vessels. It is often prescribed when a patient requires 24-hour blood pressure control with once-daily dosing, improving adherence to treatment.
