Abstract: The article presents a summary of World Health Organization (WHO) Expert Committee's considerations and justifications for changes to nifedipine on the WHO Model List of Essential Medicines. The Committee has recommended that sustained-release nifedipine be replaced with amlodipine (5mg tablet) with a square box as the representative long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker.
