Adalat Side Effects Center

What Is Adalat?

Adalat (nifedipine) is a calcium channel blocker drug that relaxes (widens) blood vessels (veins and arteries), which makes it easier for the heart to pump and reduces its workload and is used to lower high blood pressure (hypertension) and to treat chest pain (angina).

What Are Side Effects of Adalat?

Side effects of Adalat include:

• headache,
• dizziness or lightheadedness,
• fatigue, tiredness, or drowsiness,
• flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling under your skin),
• sleep problems (insomnia) or vivid/abnormal dreams,
• nausea, stomach pain, diarrhea, or constipation,
• rash or itching,
• joint or muscle cramps,
• increased urination, and
• mild swelling of the ankles or feet.

Adalat may cause serious side effects including:

• worsening chest pain (angina);
• pounding heartbeats or fluttering in your chest;
• swelling in your hands, ankles, or lower legs;
• jaundice (yellowing of the skin or eyes); and
• fainting.

Get medical help right away if you have any of the symptoms listed above.

Dosage for Adalat

The dosage of Adalat is individualized based on patient response and the condition being treated. Typical starting doses for chronic stable angina or hypertension range from 10 mg to 20 mg three times daily.

What Drugs, Substances, or Supplements Interact with Adalat?

Adalat may interact with other blood pressure medications, beta-blockers, digoxin, cimetidine, and certain antifungal or antibiotic medications. Note: You should avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while taking Adalat, as it can increase the level of the medication in your blood to a dangerous level.

Adalat During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

Adalat should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus. Nifedipine passes into breast milk; consult your doctor regarding the risks and benefits of breastfeeding while using this medication.
