Pronipin – 20 mg Sustained release film coated tablets
Pronipin contains the active substance nifedipine, which is a calcium-channel blocker that improves oxygen supply in the myocardium by reducing at the same time the demand for oxygen. Nifedipine has a vasodilator effect on the peripheral arterial surfaces causing a reduction of the peripheral vascular resistance and a decrease of the peripheral blood flow. Ca2+ channel blockers are very useful in reducing hypertension. Pronipin dilates coronary arteries, thus protects the heart against coronary spasms and relieves myocardial ischemia.
Pronipin is used in:
• chronic angina pectoris;
• hypertension.
Please do not use Pronipin for the relief of an acute attack of angina.
