Buy Nicardia Retard 10 mg (Nifedipine Sustained‑Release) – Ideal for Hypertension & Angina Prevention

Nicardia Retard 10 mg is an extended‑release formulation of nifedipine manufactured by J.B. Chemicals. It belongs to the dihydropyridine calcium‑channel blockers, prescribed for long‑term management of hypertension and prevention of angina attacks. 

How It Works

Nifedipine relaxes and widens blood vessels by inhibiting calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cells. This reduces heart workload and enhances coronary blood flow. 

Indications & Benefits

• Used to treat essential hypertension and prevent stable or vasospastic angina. 
• Sustained-release format allows once‑daily dosing with smoother blood levels and fewer peaks/troughs. 

Dosage & Administration

• Standard dose: one 10 mg tablet once daily, often morning, with or without food. Swallow whole—do not crush or chew. 
• In clinical studies, some patients used 10 mg twice daily initially; dose may increase if needed. 
• Consistency matters—take at the same time daily. Don’t stop abruptly without consulting your physician. 

Common Side Effects & Safety

• Frequent: peripheral edema (leg/ankle swelling), flushing, headache, dizziness, fatigue, constipation, palpitations. 
• Less common: nausea, general malaise, heart rhythm variation. Serious events like hypotension or heart failure are rare. 
• Extended-release forms tend to cause fewer reflex tachycardia episodes than immediate-release versions. 

Precautions & Drug Interactions

• Contraindicated in nifedipine allergy, acute MI, unstable angina, severe aortic stenosis. 
• Avoid grapefruit or juice—they can raise nifedipine blood levels, increasing side effects. 
• CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., diltiazem, erythromycin) raise drug levels; inducers (rifampin, phenytoin) reduce effectiveness.
• Use caution in liver or kidney impairment and elderly patients; hypotension risk may be elevated. 
• Avoid alcohol during treatment—can intensify low blood pressure, dizziness. Do not drive until you know how you respond.
