Dosage Guidelines

Take Adalat CR 40mg exactly as prescribed. The usual regimen is one 40mg tablet once daily. Do not chew or crush the tablet; swallow it whole with water to preserve the extended-release mechanism. Your doctor will typically not prescribe more than 40mg per day (maximum 60mg in special cases), and any increase beyond 40mg daily would be done with extreme caution under close supervision. Never adjust your dose or frequency without your doctor’s approval. If you happen to miss a dose, take it as soon as possible unless it’s almost time for your next dose. In that case, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular schedule – do not double the dose to catch up.

Possible Side Effects

Common side effects (similar to lower doses) can include flushing (redness of the face), headaches, dizziness, palpitations (rapid heartbeat), swelling of the legs or ankles, and mild nausea or stomach discomfort. These effects are often temporary and may subside as your body adjusts. 
Serious side effects are rare, but it is important to stay vigilant given the potent dose. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience an excessive drop in blood pressure (leading to severe lightheadedness, fainting, or shock), intense or unrelenting chest pain, signs of liver dysfunction like yellow eyes or skin, a drastic reduction in white blood cells (agranulocytosis, causing fever or persistent sore throat), or any loss of consciousness. Such severe adverse reactions are highly uncommon, but they necessitate prompt medical attention if they occur.
