Nicardia Retard

Nicardia Retard Tablet SR is a calcium channel blocker medication prescribed for managing hypertension (high blood pressure) and preventing angina (cardiac-related chest pain). By relaxing blood vessels, it effectively reduces blood pressure and decreases cardiac workload, thereby lowering risks of heart attacks and strokes.

This medication may be administered as monotherapy or combined with other drugs. Your physician will determine the appropriate dosage and frequency based on your individual response and blood pressure readings. For optimal results, maintain consistent daily administration timing, with or without meals. Note: This light-sensitive medication should be taken immediately after removal from its packaging to ensure efficacy.

Continue treatment as prescribed, even if asymptomatic, as hypertension often presents no noticeable symptoms. Discontinuation without medical supervision may worsen your condition. Complement your treatment with lifestyle modifications including regular exercise, weight management, and a balanced diet for enhanced blood pressure control.

Common adverse effects may include fatigue, peripheral edema, dizziness, palpitations, flushing, constipation, and headaches. Consult your healthcare provider if these persist or cause concern.

Pre-treatment disclosure of cardiac, hepatic, or renal impairments is essential. Pregnant/lactating women require medical consultation before use. Inform your doctor about concurrent medications, particularly other antihypertensives or cardiac drugs. Limit alcohol consumption as it may potentiate hypotensive effects. Regular blood pressure monitoring is recommended to assess therapeutic effectiveness.
