ADALAT

Adalat, or generic Adalat - Nifedipine - also named Procardia, is used to treat high blood pressure. Therefore, this medicine is an essential part of a comprehensive strategy to reduce cardiovascular risk in a wide range of patients with hypertension. Procardia relaxes your blood vessels so your heart does not have to pump as hard. Nifedipine / Procardia also increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart to control chest pain (angina). If taken regularly, it controls chest pain, but it does not stop chest pain once it starts.

Nifedipine belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers. These medications block the transport of calcium into the smooth muscle cells lining the coronary arteries and other arteries of the body. Since calcium is important in muscle contraction, blocking calcium transport relaxes artery muscles and dilates coronary arteries and other arteries of the body. By relaxing coronary arteries, this medicament is useful in treating and preventing chest pain (angina) resulting from coronary artery spasm. Relaxing the muscles lining the arteries of the rest of the body lowers the blood pressure, which reduces the burden on the heart as it pumps blood to the body. Reducing heart burden lessens the heart muscle's demand for oxygen, and further helps to prevent angina in patients with coronary artery disease.

SIDE EFFECTS: Side effects of nifedipine are generally mild, and reversible. Most side effects are expected consequences of the dilation of the arteries. The most common side effects of this medication include headache, dizziness, flushing, and edema (swelling) of the lower extremities. Less common side effects include dizziness, nausea and constipation.
