Product Description

Product Name: Nifedil Capsules 10mg

Product Form: Capsules

Pack Size: 30's

Manufactured By: Zafa Pharmaceuticals

Used For

  • Hypertension: Nifedipine is commonly prescribed to lower blood pressure and manage hypertension.
  • Angina Pectoris: It is effective in preventing angina attacks by reducing the heart's oxygen demand.
  • Raynaud's Phenomenon: It may be used to relieve symptoms of Raynaud's, a condition that causes narrowing of blood vessels in response to cold or stress.

Nifedipine selectively inhibits calcium ions from entering the muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. This leads to:

  • Vasodilation: Relaxation of blood vessels, which decreases blood pressure and reduces the workload on the heart.
  • Decreased Heart Rate: It may indirectly lower heart rate, although its primary action is on the vascular system.

Side Effects

Common side effects include:

  • Headache
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness: Particularly when standing up quickly.
  • Swelling (edema): Especially in the legs and ankles.
  • Flushing: A feeling of warmth or redness in the skin.
  • Palpitations: A sensation of feeling your heart beating.

Less common but serious side effects may include:

  • Severe hypotension: A significant drop in blood pressure that can lead to fainting.
  • Gingival hyperplasia: Overgrowth of gum tissue.
  • Liver enzyme abnormalities: Rarely, liver function may be affected.

Precautions

  • Hypotension: Monitor blood pressure regularly, especially when starting treatment or adjusting the dose.
  • Heart Conditions: Use with caution in patients with heart failure or other cardiac conditions, as it can potentially worsen symptoms.
  • Gastrointestinal Issues: Caution in patients with gastrointestinal obstructions.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Consult a healthcare provider before use, as safety during pregnancy and lactation is not fully established.
  • Drug Interactions: Nifedipine can interact with other medications, particularly those affecting blood pressure or heart rate. Always inform your doctor of all medications you are taking.
