Introduction of Nifedipine

Nifedipine is used to treat high blood pressure. It relaxes your blood vessels so your heart does not have to pump as hard. It also increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart to control chest pain. If taken regularly, nifedipine controls chest pain, but it does not stop chest pain once it starts. Your doctor may give you a different medication to take when you have chest pain. Nifedipine is also used sometimes to treat migraine headaches, Raynaud's syndrome, congestive heart failure, and cardiomyopathy.

Precautions Before Taking Nifedipine

• tell your doctor and pharmacist if you are allergic to nifedipine or any other drugs.

• tell your doctor and pharmacist what prescription and nonprescription medications you are taking, especially cimetidine; fentanyl; heart and blood pressure medications like beta-blockers, digoxin, warfarin, and quinidine; phenytoin; ranitidine; and vitamins.

• tell your doctor if you have or have ever had heart, liver, or kidney disease.

• tell your doctor if you are pregnant, plan to become pregnant, or are breast-feeding. If you become pregnant while taking nifedipine, call your doctor.

• if you are having surgery, including dental surgery, tell your doctor or dentist that you are taking nifedipine.
