Can nifedipine be used to treat high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) and what is its mechanism of action in preventing or alleviating symptoms?
Nifedipine can treat high-altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE) by relaxing blood vessels in the lungs, improving oxygen flow and reducing pulmonary arterial pressure.
