Nifedipine 60 mg/1

Nifedipine 60 mg extended-release tablets are a calcium channel blocker used for managing high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. This medication helps relax blood vessels, improving blood flow.

Nifedipine is primarily used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain). It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which can help lower blood pressure and improve blood flow to the heart. This medication is often prescribed for long-term management of these conditions.

Common effects of Nifedipine may include headaches, dizziness, flushing, and swelling in the legs or ankles. Some users may also experience nausea, fatigue, or constipation. These effects vary and are not experienced by everyone.

Nifedipine should be handled with care, especially by individuals with liver disease, heart conditions, or low blood pressure. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and consult a healthcare provider before starting or stopping this medication. Keep out of reach of children and store in a cool, dry place.

Nifedipine may interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and heart medications. It is important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking to avoid potential interactions. Alcohol and grapefruit products may also affect how Nifedipine works.
