Product information
About
Depin Retard from Zydus contains Nifedipine in a slow-release form. It is a calcium channel blocker prescribed for high blood pressure and certain types of chest pain (angina).
Uses
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Chest pain due to angina
- Prevention of angina attacks
- Raynaud's phenomenon in some cases
How it works
Nifedipine relaxes the muscles of blood vessels, allowing them to widen. This improves blood flow, lowers blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart, easing chest pain.
How to take
Take as prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole with water; do not crush or chew the retard tablet, as this would release the medicine too fast.
Side effects
- Headache or flushing
- Swelling of ankles or feet
- Dizziness on standing up
- Fast heartbeat
- Mild constipation
Precautions
Inform the doctor if you have heart failure, low blood pressure, liver problems or are pregnant. Avoid grapefruit juice, as it can raise the medicine's level in the blood. Stand up slowly to avoid dizziness.
Storage
Store below 25 degrees Celsius in a dry place, away from direct sunlight. Keep in the original strip and out of reach of children.
