nifedipine and Fissure in Ano

nifedipine has been researched along with Fissure in Ano in 29 studies

Nifedipine: A potent vasodilator agent with calcium antagonistic action. It is a useful anti-anginal agent that also lowers blood pressure.

Fissure in Ano: A painful linear tear at the margin of the anus. It appears as a crack or slit in the mucous membrane of the anus and is very painful and difficult to heal.
