What is Adalat?
Adalat (nifedipine) is in a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. Nifedipine relaxes (widens) your blood vessels (veins and arteries), which makes it easier for the heart to pump and reduces its workload.
Adalat is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain).
Adalat may also be used for other purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Before taking Adalat
You should not use Adalat if you are allergic to nifedipine.
If you have any of these other conditions, your doctor may need to adjust your dose of Adalat or order special tests:
- kidney disease;
- liver disease (especially cirrhosis);
- coronary artery disease;
- congestive heart failure; or
- digestive problems.
FDA pregnancy category C. It is not known whether Adalat will harm an unborn baby. Tell your doctor if you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant while using this medication. Nifedipine can pass into breast milk and may harm a nursing baby. Do not use Adalat without telling your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take Adalat?
Take Adalat exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not take in larger or smaller amounts or for longer than recommended. Follow the directions on your prescription label.
Your doctor may occasionally change your dose to make sure you get the best results.
Take the Adalat CC tablet on an empty stomach. Do not crush, chew, or break an extended-release tablet. Swallow it whole. Breaking the pill may cause too much of the drug to be released at one time.
Call your doctor if you have ongoing vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual. These conditions can lead to severely low blood pressure. If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using Adalat. You may need to stop using the Adalat for a short time. Do not stop taking Adalat without first talking to your doctor, even if you feel fine. Stopping suddenly may make your condition worse. High blood pressure often has no symptoms. You may need to use blood pressure medication for the rest of your life.
Your blood pressure will need to be checked often and you may need other blood tests at your doctor's office. Visit your doctor regularly.
Store Adalat at room temperature away from moisture and heat.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. Skip the missed dose if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose. Do not take extra Adalat to make up the missed dose.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention.
Overdose symptoms may include severe dizziness, pounding heartbeats, nausea, vomiting, and feeling like you might pass out.
What should I avoid while taking Adalat?
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice may interact with Adalat and lead to potentially dangerous effects. Discuss the use of grapefruit products with your doctor. Do not increase or decrease the amount of grapefruit products in your diet without first talking to your doctor.
Avoid getting up too fast from a sitting or lying position, or you may feel dizzy. Get up slowly and steady yourself to prevent a fall. Drinking alcohol can lower your blood pressure further and may increase certain side effects of Adalat.
