Terapijske indikacije:

Nifedipine extended-release tablets are indicated for the management of vasospastic angina confirmed by any of the following criteria: 1) classical pattern of angina at rest accompanied by ST segment elevation, 2) angina or coronary artery spasm provoked by ergonovine, or 3) angiographically demonstrated coronary artery spasm. In those patients who have had angiography, the presence of significant fixed obstructive disease is not incompatible with the diagnosis of vasospastic angina, provided that the above criteria are satisfied. Nifedipine extended-release tablets may also be used where the clinical presentation suggests a possible vasospastic component, but where vasospasm has not been confirmed, e.g., where pain has a variable threshold on exertion, or in unstable angina where electrocardiographic findings are compatible with intermittent vasospasm, or when angina is refractory to nitrates and/or adequate doses of beta blockers. Nifedipine extended-release tablets are indicated for the management of chron

SYSTEM COMPONENTS AND PERFORMANCE
Nifedipine extended-release tablets are similar in appearance to a
conventional tablet. It consists,
however, of a semipermeable membrane surrounding an osmotically active
drug core. The core itself is
divided into two layers: an “active” layer containing the drug,
and a “push” layer containing
pharmacologically inert (but osmotically active) components. As water
from the gastrointestinal tract
enters the tablet, pressure increases in the osmotic layer and
“pushes” against the drug layer, releasing
drug through the precision laser-drilled tablet orifice in the active
layer.
Nifedipine extended-release tablets are designed to provide nifedipine
at an approximately constant rate
over 24 hours. This controlled rate of drug delivery into the
gastrointestinal lumen is independent of pH
or gastrointestinal motility. Nifedipine extended-release tablets
depend for its action on the existence of
an osmotic gradient between the contents of the bi-layer core and
fluid in the gastrointestinal tract. Dr
