What is nicardipine? Nicardipine is a calcium channel blocker. Nicardipine relaxes (widens) your blood vessels, which makes it easier for the heart to pump and reduces its workload. Nicardipine is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). Nicardipine may also be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
All nifedipine tablets are extended-release, while all nifedipine capsules are immediate-release. Nifedipine is part of a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. It helps slow down the rate at which calcium moves into your heart and into the blood vessel walls. This, in turn, helps to relax the vessels, which allows better blood flow and makes it easier for the heart to pump blood.
