Adalat Oros

Adalat Oros is a medication containing nifedipine, used for managing high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). This oral medication is designed for controlled release, offering sustained effects throughout the day.

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 lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the heart. This medication is often prescribed when immediate-release nifedipine is not suitable, providing a more consistent effect over time.

Common effects of Adalat Oros may include headaches, dizziness, and swelling in the ankles or feet. Some users might also experience flushing or a rapid heartbeat. These effects vary among individuals and are not experienced by everyone who takes the medication.

Adalat Oros should be taken as directed by a healthcare professional. It is important to avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice, as they can interact with the medication. Patients with certain heart conditions or low blood pressure should use this medication with caution.

Adalat Oros can interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and heart medications. It is also important to be cautious when consuming alcohol while taking this medication, as it can enhance some of the side effects.
