Description
Nifedipine MR (Modified Release) 10mg tablets contain the active ingredient nifedipine, which belongs to a class of medications known as calcium channel blockers. These tablets are designed to release the medication gradually over time, allowing for a sustained effect and often reducing the frequency of dosing.
The recommended dosage of Nifedipine MR 10mg tablets and the frequency of administration can vary depending on the individual’s condition, response to treatment, and the doctor’s recommendation. It’s essential to follow the prescribed dosage and administration instructions provided by your healthcare provider.
Like all medications, Nifedipine MR may cause side effects in some individuals. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, flushing, swelling of the ankles or feet, and constipation. Serious side effects such as low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, or allergic reactions are less common but may require medical attention if experienced.
It’s crucial to inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and medical conditions you have before starting Nifedipine MR, as it may interact with other drugs or exacerbate certain health conditions.
Do not stop taking Nifedipine MR without consulting your doctor, even if you feel better. Suddenly stopping the medication can lead to rebound effects or worsening of your condition. Always follow your doctor’s instructions regarding dosage adjustments or discontinuation of treatment.
