Commonly used brand name(s)

In the U.S.

Cardene
Cardene IV

Available Dosage Forms:

Solution

Therapeutic Class: Antihypertensive

Pharmacologic Class: Calcium Channel Blocker

Chemical Class: Dihydropyridine

Uses For nicardipine

Nicardipine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries. If it continues for a long time, the heart and arteries may not function properly. This can damage the blood vessels of the brain, heart, and kidneys, resulting in a stroke, heart failure, or kidney failure. High blood pressure may also increase the risk of heart attacks. These problems may be less likely to occur if blood pressure is controlled .

Nicardipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by affecting the movement of calcium into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. As a result, nicardipine relaxes blood vessels and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart while reducing its workload .

nicardipine is available only with your doctor's prescription .

Before Using nicardipine

In deciding to use a medicine, the risks of taking the medicine must be weighed against the good it will do. This is a decision you and your doctor will make. For nicardipine, the following should be considered:
