How it works?

Uses of Nifedipine 30 mg sustained release Tablet

What Nifedipine 30 mg Sustained-Release Tablets Are Used For

Nifedipine extended-release tablets 30 mg are basically used in the treatment of hypertension.

1. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension)

  • Nifedipine helps relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for blood to flow.
  • This lowers blood pressure and reduces the strain on your heart.
  • Just one tablet a day can help control blood pressure for 24 hours.
  • It works best in people with high blood pressure. If your blood pressure is normal, it usually doesn’t lower it too much.

2. Chest Pain (Angina)

  • Nifedipine improves blood flow to the heart by relaxing the arteries.
  • This helps reduce chest pain caused by poor blood supply to the heart.
  • It’s especially useful for people who experience spasms in the heart’s blood vessels.

Precautions of Nifedipine 30 mg sustained release Tablet

Precautions while taking Nifedipine 30 mg sustained-release tablet.

  • Swallow Whole Do not bite, chew, or crush the tablet. It must be swallowed whole to work properly.
  • Low Blood Pressure Warning If you already have low blood pressure (especially below 90 mm Hg), this medicine could lower it even more. Use with caution.
  • Pregnancy Use Only take this medicine during pregnancy if absolutely necessary—usually for severe high blood pressure that doesn’t respond to other treatments.
  • Breastfeeding Not recommended while breastfeeding, as the medicine can pass into breast milk and may affect the baby.
  • Liver Conditions If you have liver problems, your doctor may need to adjust your dose and monitor you closely.
  • Heart Conditions Use with caution if your heart function is weak. In rare cases, it may worsen heart failure.
  • Diabetes: Diabetic patients may need to adjust their medication or diet, as this tablet can affect blood sugar control.
  • Dialysis Patients If you’re on dialysis and have high blood pressure with low blood volume, this medicine may cause a sharp drop in blood pressure.
  • Drug Interactions Some medicines can increase the effect of nifedipine, leading to low blood pressure. These include:
    • Certain antibiotics (e.g., erythromycin)
    • HIV medicines (e.g., ritonavir)
    • Antifungal drugs (e.g., ketoconazole)
    • Antidepressants (e.g., fluoxetine, nefazodone)
    • Other drugs like cimetidine and valproic acid

    If you’re taking any of these, your doctor may need to adjust your dose and monitor your blood pressure.

  • Tablet Appearance in Stool The outer shell of the tablet doesn’t dissolve. You might see it in your stool—this is normal and not a cause for concern.
  • Rare Digestive Issues In very rare cases, the tablet may cause blockages in the digestive system.
  • If you experience stomach pain or unusual symptoms, contact your doctor.
  • X-ray Interference This tablet may show up as a false positive on certain X-ray tests (like barium contrast studies).

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions are useful tools, they open lines of communication; give us information; improve interactions, facilitate analysis, and many more.

A pharma CMO is a special kind of an organization, offering contract manufacturing services to pharmaceutical companies for various kinds of drug formulations.

Reduce overall costs and time to market :
Contract manufacturers already have the needed infrastructure and technical staff, so working with a CMO or CDMO can decrease the cost of manufacturing your pharmaceutical products.

Scalability and flexible production capacity :
You can produce what you need when you need it without worrying about excess capacity. Additionally, CMOs understand the importance of quality and compliance, so you don't have to sacrifice safety for scalability.

Save on upgrading and maintaining equipment :
If you have your manufacturing facility, you’ll have to pay to upgrade your equipment as technology advances—which can get expensive. A CMO/CDMO’s only function is to make and distribute products, so part of their core business responsibility is to update their equipment whenever needed and perform maintenance.

Ease supply chain issues :
During the pandemic, there were several instances of supply chain issues, including medicine shortages. CMOs are generally better equipped than startups to handle a supply chain crisis.

Bandwidth to focus on core competencies
When your company resources aren’t directly allocated to manufacturing and distribution, you have more time to focus on other tasks, like marketing your new drug, researching, or working on drug discovery.
