Nifedipine is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina). It belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers.
Nifedipine relaxes the muscles of your heart and blood vessels by blocking calcium from entering cells of the heart and arterial walls. This leads to dilation of the arteries, lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow.

Because nifedipine has a short half-life (about 2 hours), extended-release forms help maintain steady blood levels over 24 hours, improving blood pressure control and reducing side effects like sudden drops in blood pressure.
Because it dilates blood vessels in the legs, fluid can leak into the tissues causing swelling. This is a common side effect but usually not dangerous.
No, sudden discontinuation can cause rebound hypertension or angina. It should be tapered off under medical supervision.
