Why is Adalat prescribed?

Adalat (Nifedipine) is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax and widen blood vessels (both veins and arteries), easing the heart's pumping effort and reducing its workload. It is commonly used to treat high chest pain (angina) and blood pressure (hypertension).

What does it do?

Adalat works by relaxing your blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more freely. This can help alleviate chest pain, lower blood pressure, and potentially reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke.

Why is Adalat prescribed?

Take Adalat exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Your doctor may adjust your dose from time to time. Swallow the tablet whole without chewing, crushing, or breaking it. Take the extended-release tablet on an empty stomach with the usual starting dose of 30mg per day.

What if I missed a dose?

If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and take only the scheduled one. Do not take two doses at once or extra doses.

What are the special precautions before taking Adalat?

You should inform your care team before taking this medication if you have any of the following conditions:

• Allergies or unusual reactions to nifedipine
• Blockage in your bowels
• Constipation
• Heart disease
• Heart failure
• Liver disease
• Low blood pressure

Do not self-medicate for colds, coughs, or pain while using this medication without consulting your care team, as some medications may raise your blood pressure.

This medication may cause drowsiness or dizziness. Avoid operating machinery, driving, or engaging in activities that require mental alertness until you know how it affects you. To minimize the risk of dizziness or fainting, avoid standing or sitting up quickly, especially if you are older.

The tablet shell of certain brands may not dissolve, which is normal. It may appear whole in your stool, and this is not a cause for concern.
