Is This Hypertension High Blood Pressure Medication Right for You?


Adalat (whose generic name is nifedipine) is a medication that is used primarily to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). Nifedipine is the active ingredient in the brand name drugs Procardia and Nifedical.

Adalat is a calcium channel blocker and works by relaxing blood vessels. By relaxing blood vessels the arteries in your heart relax allowing more blood flow thereby reducing your blood pressure.

Adalat should only be taken if a doctor has prescribed it for you. It is important that Adalat be taken on an empty stomach and should be taken whole, never crushed or chewed. You should also avoid eating grapefruit or products containing grapefruit unless approved by your doctor. If Adalat is prescribed for you, you should try to take it at the same time every day. It is very important not to stop taking Adalat even if you feel better unless advised to do so by your doctor. Remember, there are usually no warning signs of hypertension (high blood pressure) and even if you feel well you could still be in danger of heart attack, stroke, and blindness. Generally if your physician decides to stop Adalat treatment he or she will gradually reduce your dosage. Do not stop taking Adalat suddenly as your condition may become worse.

Dizziness, headaches, and swelling of the limbs may occur with Adalat. Generally these are not serious but you should tell your doctor about any side effects that occur while you are taking Adalat. Your blood pressure should be checked routinely while on Adalat. If your blood pressure readings seem to escalate inform your doctor right away.

Adalat has a proven track record for treating hypertension and angina but only you and your doctor can determine if it is right for you. This article does not take the place of professional medical advice and should never be taken except under the direction of your physician.
