What is nifedipin?

Sílem nifedipinu v lékařské oblasti je uvolnění krevních cév tak, aby byly širší, což srdce usnadňuje normální práci. It is usually prescribed for the treatment of angina and high blood pressure, although it can also be used to treat Reynaud's syndrome and stop premature birth. It is classified as a calcium channel blocker and usually comes in the form of either a capsule or a tablet of extended release. It should be noted that nifedipine is usually intended to control hypertension and angina, not these problems completely cure.

This type of calcium channel blocker works by slowing the speed at which calcium moves into the walls of the blood vessels and hearts. As a result, the vessels relax and extend to flow blood and for the pumping of the heart. Unlike some types of calcium channel blockers, nifedipine usually does not slow down the heart rate as it works and can in fact even accelerate it. This is actually one of the most common side effects, along with nausea, dizziness,headaches, heartburn, constipation and cough.

nifedipine can be issued in the form of capsules, which is usually taken from one to four times a day and should be absorbed whole. It can also be administered in the form of a tablet, which is usually prolonged release, which usually leads to less side effects. This should also be swallowed by the whole and should be taken at the same time every day to be the most effective. The dose of both type should be determined by a physician because it may depend on the condition, medicines used simultaneously and on other conditions displayed by the patient. The dose usually starts low to ensure that there is no extreme side effects, and then gradually increases within a few weeks.

It is important to inform doctors about certain nifedipine conditions. For example, liver and kidney disease can cause problems when paired with this medicine, so the doctor may need to PACIenta to carefully monitor or even prescribe another medicine. Although this medicine is usually prescribed to treat chest pain, patients with congestive heart failure or coronary arteries should also be monitored if they can be used at all. In addition, this medicine is suitable for pregnancy C, which means that its effects on the unborn child are still unknown, so it should only be taken if necessary for the health of the patient.
