Used primarily in the treatment of hypertension, this compound acts as a calcium channel blocker, helping to relax blood vessels and improve blood flow. Its long duration of action allows for once-daily dosing, contributing to better patient compliance. Due to its high lipophilicity, it penetrates cell membranes effectively, providing sustained vascular protection. It is particularly beneficial in patients with renal impairment, as it helps reduce intraglomerular pressure, offering nephroprotective effects. Additionally, it may improve endothelial function and reduce oxidative stress, contributing to overall cardiovascular protection.
