Procardia (Nifedipine)

General information

Procardia belongs to a class of medications known as calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. This medication is used to prevent certain types of chest pain (angina). It should not be used to treat attacks of chest pain when they occur. This medication may also be used to treat a certain blood circulation disorder (Raynaud's syndrome).

Directions

Take Procardia exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Take this medication by mouth, usually 3 times daily with or without food. Swallow this medication whole. The recommended starting dose for treating chest pain (angina) is 10 mg three times daily. If necessary, your doctor may increase your dose (up to 30 mg four times daily) to control your chest pain.

Precautions

Before taking Procardia you should talk with your doctor if you have heart disease, congestive heart failure, low blood pressure, upcoming surgery, aortic stenosis, kidney disease, liver disease, any allergies. The elderly people appear to be more sensitive to the medication. This drug may make you dizzy. Do not drive or perform tasks that require alertness. Limit alcoholic beverages. Alcohol may further lower blood pressure and increase drowsiness or dizziness. Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while being treated with this medication.

Contraindications

You should not take Procardia if you are allergic to it, nifedipine, or any of the inactive components of the drug. Let your healthcare provider know if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

Possible side effect

Get emergency medical help if you have dizziness, flushing, weakness, swelling ankles or feet, headache, fast or slow heartbeats, swelling of the lips, tongue, or face, psychosis, yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice), insomnia, nausea, constipation, increased urination. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor.

Interaction between two medications does not always mean that you must stop taking one of them. Tell your doctor or prescriber about all prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal medications you are taking.
