Used primarily in the pharmaceutical industry as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in cardiovascular medications. It functions as a calcium channel blocker, helping to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow, which makes it effective in treating hypertension and certain types of angina. Its formulation allows for extended release, providing sustained therapeutic effects with reduced dosing frequency. Due to its ester and lactate components, it exhibits improved solubility and bioavailability, enhancing its absorption in the gastrointestinal tract. Commonly developed in tablet form, it is designed for oral administration and is often prescribed for long-term management of chronic heart conditions.
