Effectiveness

How Adalat Cc Affects PatientsNifedipine helps to lower blood pressure and increases the amount of oxygen that the heart receives. To keep these effects going, it should be taken three times per day, typically 10-120mg. Some side effects to be aware of include excessive low blood pressure, chest pain, and heart attack.
How Adalat Cc works in the bodyNifedipine works by blocking calcium from entering cells in your arteries and heart. This reduces the pressure in your vessels and increases the oxygen supply to your heart, helping to relieve angina.

Adalat Cc for Type of Angina Where Chest Pain Occurs at Rest
This lowered my blood pressure for about five hours after taking it, which is good. However, I would prefer if it were more consistent throughout the day and night.

Adalat Cc for High Blood Pressure
This drug works well for me in conjunction with Altace. I get the occasional cramping in my lower legs but no other negative side effects that I've noticed.

Adalat Cc for High Blood Pressure
I've been on this medication for over six years now. I had originally started because of severe chest pains that were frequent and hospitalizing. After some testing, it was determined that I didn't have any blockages, but rather spasms in my arteries. This medication has helped to almost entirely remove the pain and severity when they do occur.

Adalat Cc for High Blood Pressure
I unfortunately had an allergic reaction to the medication. My baby has also been experiencing diarrhea since I started taking it.
