Used primarily in the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), this chemical helps relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart. It is a dual L- and N-type calcium channel blocker, which provides effective blood pressure control and may offer additional benefits in patients with conditions such as chronic kidney disease or diabetes by reducing proteinuria and protecting organ function. Its action on N-type channels may also contribute to reduced sympathetic nervous system activity, making it useful in patients with high sympathetic tone. Often prescribed as a once-daily oral tablet, it is well tolerated and may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
