Nifedipine is a pharmaceutical compound belonging to the class of dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, which is synthetically derived. Its mode of action involves the inhibition of calcium ions entering vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells, leading to vasodilation. By blocking these channels, it reduces peripheral vascular resistance, thereby decreasing blood pressure and easing cardiac workload.
