Nitrendipine
Uses
Nitrendipine is used in the treatment of angina (heart-related chest pain), hypertension (high blood pressure), arrhythmia, hypertensive emergencies, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and anal fissures.
How it Works
Nitrendipine is a calcium channel blocker that regulates blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing pressure on them. This action makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, thereby normalizing blood pressure in patients with hypertension.
Side Effects
Common side effects of Nitrendipine include ankle swelling, dizziness, edema, fatigue, flushing (a sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), headache, and palpitations.
Expert Advice
- A sudden drop in blood pressure may occur, particularly when you first start taking Nitrendipine.
- To minimize the risk of feeling dizzy or fainting, rise slowly from a sitting or lying position.
- Nitrendipine may cause swelling in the ankles or feet.
- To alleviate swelling, elevate your legs while sitting.
- Consult your doctor if the swelling does not resolve.
- Dizziness may occur; avoid driving or engaging in activities that require mental focus until you understand how Nitrendipine affects you.
- Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
- Nitrendipine has been prescribed to improve your blood pressure and/or to reduce the frequency and severity of angina attacks.
- Lowering blood pressure decreases the risk of future heart attacks and strokes.
- Take Nitrendipine at the same time every day to help you remember your dosage.
