Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure and angina. It lowers blood pressure by dilating blood vessels, thereby reducing the heart's workload and oxygen demand. Nifedipine may also be used to treat Raynaud's disease and other vasoconstrictive disorders.
When using nifedipine, patients should follow their doctor's recommendations and take the medication on time. Common side effects include headache, dizziness, edema and palpitations. If you experience serious side effects, such as difficulty breathing or chest pain, seek medical attention immediately.
Patients with high blood pressure or heart disease should have their blood pressure and heart function checked regularly to ensure the effectiveness and safety of their medications. While taking nifedipine, avoid drinking alcohol and excessive intake of grapefruit, as they may affect the effectiveness of the drug.
If you have any questions or discomfort, patients should seek help from their doctor immediately.
How to use: Nifedipine is a drug that treats high blood pressure and heart disease. It is usually recommended to take it 2 to 3 times daily, with or without food. Avoid taking it with grapefruit juice as it may affect the effectiveness of the medicine. While taking nifedipine, you should avoid excessive or strenuous exercise to avoid affecting heart function.
Dosage Guidelines: The usual starting dose for adults is 5 mg two to three times daily. According to personal circumstances and doctor's advice, the dose may be adjusted to 10 mg each time, and the maximum dose shall not exceed 20 mg each time. For children, dosage is usually based on weight and age, and use under medical supervision is recommended. Elderly patients or patients with liver or kidney function problems may need dosage adjustment and should seek medical advice.
The above is information about the use and dosage of nifedipine. Please follow your doctor's recommendations when using the drug, and receive regular medical examinations to ensure treatment effectiveness and safety.

Nifedipine is a drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease. For pregnant women, there are some things that require special attention. Use of nifedipine during pregnancy may have effects on the fetus and should therefore be used under the supervision of a physician. Pregnant women should tell their doctor before using this medication. Doctors will determine whether nifedipine is suitable for use based on the patient's specific circumstances. During pregnancy, you should pay close attention to check-ups and receive regular doctor's supervision to ensure the appropriateness and safety of drug use. Avoid stopping or changing the dosage of medications on your own during pregnancy. Any adjustments should be made under the guidance of a doctor. If nifedipine is needed during pregnancy, patients should closely follow their doctor's advice, keep good medical records, and promptly report any discomfort or abnormalities to their doctor.
