Procardia XL 90 mg should be taken as directed by a healthcare provider. It is important to avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice, as they can interact with nifedipine. Patients with liver disease or low blood pressure should use this medication with caution.

Procardia XL 90 mg can interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and heart medications. It is also important to avoid alcohol while taking this medication, as it can enhance the effects of nifedipine.
