What is/are Adalat CC Extended-Release tablets?

NIFEDIPINE is a calcium-channel blocker. It affects the amount of calcium found in your heart and muscle cells. This relaxes your blood vessels, which can reduce the amount of work the heart has to do. This medicine is used to treat high blood pressure and chest pain caused by angina. This medicine may be used for other purposes; ask your health care provider or pharmacist if you have questions.

Sustained-release (SR), extended-release (ER, XR, or XL), time-release or timed-release, controlled-release (CR), or continuous-release (CR or Contin) pills are tablets or capsules formulated to dissolve slowly and release a drug over time. The advantages of sustained-release tablets or capsules are that they can often be taken less frequently than instant-release formulations of the same drug, and that they keep steadier levels of the drug in the bloodstream.

What should I tell my health care providers before I take this medicine?

They need to know if you have any of these conditions:

• heart problems, low blood pressure, slow or irregular heartbeat
• kidney disease
• liver disease
• previous heart attack
• an unusual or allergic reaction to nifedipine, other medicines, foods, dyes, or preservatives
• pregnant or trying to get pregnant
• breast-feeding
