₹18.00
Nifedipine 10 mg extended-release/sustained-release (ER/SR) tablets are a type of calcium channel blocker primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (heart-related chest pain). This medication works by relaxing blood vessels, which improves blood flow and reduces the heart’s workload.
Key Information
- Uses:
- Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure).
- Prevention and management of chronic stable or vasospastic angina (chest pain).
- It may also be used off-label for conditions such as Raynaud’s phenomenon or to stop preterm labor in some cases.
- How to Take:
- Swallow the tablet whole with a drink of water; do not crush, chew, or break it, as this can affect the controlled release of the medication and potentially lead to an overdose.
- It can generally be taken with or without food, but for consistency and best results, take it at the same time each day.
- Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while on this medication, as it can increase the levels of nifedipine in your bloodstream and increase the risk of side effects.

- Peripheral edema (swelling of the ankles or feet).

- Important Warnings:
- Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it can cause your condition (e.g., blood pressure) to worsen.
- Use with caution if you have liver or kidney problems, heart failure, or very low blood pressure.
- Nifedipine may decrease alertness, so use caution when driving or operating machinery until you know how it affects you.
- Consult your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, as safety has not been fully established and potential risks exist.
Always consult a healthcare professional for advice tailored to your specific medical condition and needs. For detailed information on potential interactions with other medications, refer to a reliable source.
