What class of drug is nifedipine?
Nifedipine is in a class of medications called calcium-channel blockers. It lowers blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard. It controls chest pain by increasing the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart.
Can you take too much nifedipine at once?
Nifedipine capsules should not be used to reduce blood pressure quickly as this may be fatal. The dosage of nifedipine must be established by slow titration as excessive dosages can result in hypotension, preferably over a 7 to 14 day period. Dosages of greater than 120mg/day are rarely necessary and more than 180 mg/day is not recommended.
Do nifedipine extended-release tablets affect blood pressure?
Nifedipine extended-release tablets produced dose-related decreases in systolic and diastolic blood pressure as demonstrated in two double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials in which over 350 patients were treated with nifedipine extended-release tablets 30, 60 or 90 mg once daily for 6 weeks.
Is nifedipine soluble in water?
Product meets USP dissolution test 10. Nifedipine is a yellow crystalline substance, practically insoluble in water but soluble in ethanol. It has a molecular weight of 346.3. Nifedipine extended release tablets contain either: 30, 60, or 90 mg of nifedipine for once-a-day oral administration.
