Product information
About
Nicardia Retard from JB Chemical contains nifedipine, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker, in a slower-release form. It is used for high blood pressure and chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart.
Uses
- High blood pressure
- Chronic stable angina
- Vasospastic (Prinzmetal) angina
How it works
Nifedipine relaxes the smooth muscle of arteries so they widen, which lowers blood pressure and lets more blood reach the heart muscle. The retard form releases the drug gradually for steadier control.
How to take
Swallow the tablet whole with water as prescribed by your doctor. Do not crush or chew, since that destroys the slow-release effect and can cause a sudden drop in blood pressure.
Side effects
- Headache or flushing
- Ankle swelling
- Dizziness
- Fast heartbeat
Precautions
Stand up slowly, especially in the early weeks, to avoid feeling faint. Tell your doctor about heart failure, severe aortic stenosis, or liver problems. Avoid grapefruit juice, which can raise drug levels.
Storage
Store below 25 degrees Celsius, protected from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
