Cardene (Nicardipine) is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and can be used with or without other medications. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
Nicardipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. It is also used to prevent certain types of chest pain (angina) and may increase your ability to exercise and decrease the frequency of angina attacks.
Nicardipine should be taken regularly as prescribed to be effective and should not be used to treat attacks of chest pain when they occur. Other medications, such as sublingual nitroglycerin, should be used to relieve attacks of chest pain as directed by your doctor
