What is Nifedipine ER?

Nifedipine ER is an extended-release medication that reduces blood pressure (antihypertensive) for patients with high blood pressure (hypertension). While high blood pressure may have a number of causes, over time, high blood pressure damages blood vessels, particularly small blood vessels. Over time, this results in irreversible tissue damage in major organs and other parts of the body.

Nifedipine ER belongs to a class of blood pressure reducing medications called calcium channel blockers. The “calcium channel” is a chemical mechanism that allows nerves to send electrical signals and causes muscles to contract. The central effect of a calcium channel blocker is to weaken the heart so that each heartbeat puts less pressure on the blood flowing out of the heart. But a calcium channel blocker also weakens the muscles in the blood vessels, causing them to get wider.

Nifedipine ER is taken as a tablet once per day. The dose will depend on the severity of hypertension and its responsiveness to treatment.

What are the side effects of Nifedipine ER?

The most common physical side effects include, but are not limited to, headache, dizziness, flushing, muscle cramps, nausea, and constipation. Allergic reactions are very rare.
