nifedipine and Morphine Dependence

nifedipine has been researched along with Morphine Dependence in 11 studies

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

Morphine Dependence: Strong dependence, both physiological and emotional, upon morphine.
