Used primarily in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and chronic stable angina, this compound helps relax blood vessels, allowing for improved blood flow and reduced workload on the heart. It is also prescribed for patients with vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal's angina) due to its vasodilatory effects. As a long-acting calcium channel blocker, it enables once-daily dosing, promoting better patient compliance. Often used in combination with other cardiovascular medications such as statins or beta-blockers, it plays a key role in managing long-term heart health. Its slow onset and prolonged action make it suitable for elderly patients and those requiring gradual blood pressure control.
