Adalat Oros is used for treating high blood pressure and stable angina in the heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
High blood pressure occurs i.a. a. when the resistance in the blood vessels is too high. Adalat Oros is a calcium channel blocker (a drug that inhibits the influx of calcium into certain cells). Treatment with Adalat Oros reduces the tension in the muscle cells of the blood vessels. As a result, more blood (and thus more oxygen) can emerge and the blood vessels dilate.
The most common type of angina occurs when the heart muscle receives too little oxygen. In the case of angina, Adalat Oros dilates the blood vessels, the heart does not have to work as hard to pump out the blood and thus less oxygen is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adalat Oros is a new type of tablet ( prolonged-release tablets ) of nifedipine. The drug is released continuously and gives an even effect throughout the day with a tablet once a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
