Description

Adalat is a medical product of the new generation which contains the active ingredient Nifedipine. This product is used for the treatment of the cardiovascular diseases.

 

As most selective blocking agents of slow calcium channels, Adalat provides a general therapeutic action to the cardiovascular system. The use of Adalat dilates the coronary vessels, reduces the load to the cardiac muscle, and lowers the needs of myocardium in oxygen.
