Nicardia XL ER 30mg Tablet 10s (Strip)

Nicardia XL ER 30mg Tablet contains nifedipine, an active ingredient from a class of medicines known as calcium channel blockers, specifically formulated as an extended-release (ER) tablet. It's designed to release the medicine gradually over the day, so it's typically taken just once daily. Some people notice headache, flushing, dizziness, or swelling of the ankles, particularly in the first few weeks of treatment as the body adjusts. Because this is an extended-release formulation, the tablet shell may sometimes appear intact in stool, which is normal and not a cause for concern. Understanding this in advance can help you feel more at ease with how the medicine works.

The usual starting dose for adults is 30mg once daily, which your doctor may adjust upward depending on your blood pressure response and tolerability. Dose changes should only be made under medical supervision, and the medicine should not be stopped abruptly.

Nicardia XL ER 30mg Tablet is taken orally, swallowed whole with water, and should never be chewed, crushed, or split, since doing so can release the full dose at once. It can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time each day to help maintain consistent levels in the body.

Nicardia XL ER 30mg Tablet typically has a shelf life of around 24 to 36 months from manufacture when stored properly. Always check the expiry date on the packaging before use.

The active ingredient is nifedipine, 30mg per extended-release tablet.

Nicardia XL ER 30mg Tablet is contraindicated in individuals with known hypersensitivity to nifedipine or other dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, those in cardiogenic shock, and those with significant aortic stenosis unless specifically directed by a doctor. It should be used only under close medical guidance in pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant liver impairment.

Nifedipine has a well-documented interaction with grapefruit and grapefruit juice, which can increase blood levels of the medicine and should generally be avoided. It may also interact with beta-blockers, certain antibiotics, rifampin, phenytoin, and other blood pressure medicines, so a complete medication list should always be shared with your doctor or pharmacist. Alcohol may add to dizziness and low blood pressure effects and should be limited during treatment.
