What is Nifedipine?

Adalat Oros is a medication containing nifedipine, used for managing high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). This extended-release tablet is designed for oral use and is manufactured by Bayer Hispania Sl.

What is Nifedipine used for?

Adalat Oros is primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina). It works by relaxing blood vessels, which helps to improve blood flow and reduce the workload on the heart. This medication is often prescribed when other treatments have not been effective or are not suitable.

What are the side effects of Nifedipine?

Common effects of Adalat Oros may include headaches, dizziness, flushing, and swelling in the legs or ankles. Some users might also experience nausea, fatigue, or constipation. These effects are generally mild and temporary, but if they persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional.

What precautions apply to Nifedipine?

Adalat Oros should be taken exactly as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to avoid crushing, chewing, or breaking the tablets, as this can affect the extended-release mechanism. Patients with certain medical conditions, such as liver disease or low blood pressure, should use this medication with caution.

What does Nifedipine interact with?

Adalat Oros may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and heart medications. It is also important to avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as they can increase the levels of nifedipine in the blood. Always inform your healthcare provider about all the medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions.
