Hypertension is a condition in which the force of the blood against the blood vessel walls is too high and is characterised by headache, irregular heartbeat, vision changes, a feeling of overtiredness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, anxiety, and chest pain. Angina is a type of chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart and characterised by a squeezing type of pain, pressure, heaviness, and tightness in the chest.

HOW NICARDIA RETARD 10MG TABLET WORKS
NICARDIA RETARD 10MG TABLET reduces blood pressure by relaxing and expanding the blood vessels for easy blood flow and thereby lowers the blood pressure, which reduces the strain on the heart. It also works by relaxing and expanding the blood vessels supplying the heart, which allows more blood and oxygen to reach the heart and decreases the strain on it. This reduces the severity and frequency of angina attacks.
