Used primarily in the treatment of cardiovascular conditions, this compound acts as a calcium channel blocker to manage high blood pressure, angina (chest pain), and certain arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats). It works by relaxing blood vessels and slowing heart rate, improving blood flow and reducing heart workload. Commonly prescribed in oral and intravenous forms, it is effective in both chronic management and acute control of supraventricular tachycardias. Additionally, it has been explored for off-label uses such as migraine prevention and enhancing chemotherapy efficacy due to its ability to inhibit drug efflux pumps.
