Adalat CR 10mg is a sustained-release calcium channel blocker containing nifedipine, designed to effectively manage blood pressure and prevent chest pain. Manufactured in Japan by Bayer Yakuhin under stringent pharmaceutical quality standards, this medication works by relaxing and widening blood vessels to improve blood flow and reduce blood pressure. The 10mg dose is the lowest strength in the Adalat CR lineup and is typically used as a starting dose, especially for older or sensitive patients who may need a gentler introduction to therapy.
Indications: Adalat CR 10mg is commonly prescribed for essential hypertension (primary high blood pressure) and renal hypertension (high blood pressure related to kidney issues), and may also be used to help manage angina pectoris (chest pain) and variant angina in patients for whom a lower dose is appropriate. Its once-daily, sustained-release formulation ensures steady control of symptoms over 24 hours.

Dosage Guidelines

If a dose is missed, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose – in that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule. Never take two doses at one time to make up for a missed dose.

Possible Side Effects

Most patients tolerate Adalat CR 10mg well. Common side effects may include flushing (warmth or redness of the face), headache, dizziness or lightheadedness, palpitations (a fast or pounding heartbeat), swelling in the ankles or feet (edema), or gastrointestinal discomfort such as nausea or indigestion. These side effects are usually mild and transient, often improving as your body adjusts to the medication. Serious side effects are very rare, but it is important to be aware of them. Stop taking the medication and seek medical attention immediately if you experience a severe reaction, such as an extreme drop in blood pressure (circulatory shock leading to fainting or unresponsiveness), chest pain that does not subside, significant liver problems indicated by yellowing of the eyes or skin (jaundice), a severe decrease in white blood cells (agranulocytosis, leading to fever or a persistent sore throat), or any unusual change in consciousness (such as confusion or loss of consciousness). Although these events are extremely uncommon, they require prompt medical evaluation if they occur.
