Can nifedipine cause gynecomastia and what is the pathophysiological basis for this side effect in male patients?
Nifedipine can cause gynecomastia, possibly due to its estrogen-like effects on the endocrine system, disrupting hormone balance in males.
Gynecomastia from nifedipine in males may stem from the drug’s ability to interfere with estrogen and testosterone levels, leading to increased breast tissue growth.
