CLINICAL PHARMACOLOGY
Nifedipine is a calcium ion influx inhibitor (slow-channel blocker or
calcium ion antagonist) and inhibits
the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into cardiac muscle and
smooth muscle. The contractile
processes of cardiac muscle and vascular smooth muscle are dependent
upon the movement of
extracellular calcium ions into these cells through specific ion
channels. Nifedipine selectively inhibits
calcium ion influx across the cell membrane of cardiac muscle and
vascular smooth muscle without
altering serum calcium concentrations.

The precise mechanisms by which inhibition of calcium influx relieves
angina has not been fully
determined, but includes at least the following two mechanisms:
1) RELAXATION AND PREVENTION OF CORONARY ARTERY SPASM
Nifedipine dilates the main coronary arteries and coronary arterioles,
