A recent scientific investigation has raised concerns about the safety of the widely prescribed drug Nifedipine, commonly used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain. Researchers suggest that higher doses of this medication may be linked to an increased risk of sudden cardiac arrest. Interestingly, another drug in the same category, Amlodipine, did not show the same level of risk in the study.
