"Nifedipine ER 10mg: Comprehensive Blood Pressure Control"

Nifedipine ER (10mg)

NIFEDIP RT 10 

Nifedipine ER (10mg) is a widely prescribed medication for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). As an extended-release (ER) formulation, it provides a sustained release of the active ingredient over time, ensuring long-lasting effects. Nifedipine belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing the muscles of your heart and blood vessels.

How Nifedipine ER Works

Nifedipine ER operates by inhibiting calcium from entering the cells of the heart and blood vessels. This action relaxes the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart. By maintaining a steady level of medication in your bloodstream, Nifedipine ER helps to control blood pressure throughout the day and night.

Uses

• Hypertension: Effective in lowering high blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke and heart attack.
• Angina: Helps alleviate chest pain by improving blood flow to the heart muscle.
• Raynaud's Phenomenon: Used off-label to treat this condition, which causes cold and numb extremities.

Dosage and Administration

The typical starting dose for Nifedipine ER is 10mg once daily. It's important to take the medication at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it, as this can release all the drug at once, increasing the risk of side effects.

Side Effects

• Common: Headache, dizziness, flushing, and swelling (edema) of the ankles or feet.
• Serious: Severe hypotension, chest pain, shortness of breath, and allergic reactions. If you experience any serious side effects, seek medical attention immediately.

Precautions

• Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can increase Nifedipine levels in the blood and lead to adverse effects.
• Inform your doctor if you have any liver disease, heart failure, or other significant health issues.
• Use caution when driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how Nifedipine ER affects you.

Drug Interactions

• Beta-Blockers: Concurrent use may enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects.
• CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Such as ketoconazole and erythromycin, can increase the concentration of Nifedipine in the blood.
• Digoxin: Nifedipine can affect the levels of digoxin in your body.

Conclusion

Nifedipine ER (10mg) is a reliable and effective medication for the management of hypertension and angina. By providing a sustained release of the drug, it ensures consistent blood pressure control and relief from chest pain.
