User Reviews for Nifedipine

nifedipine: Wow, after trying four different medications to lower my blood pressure with no success, nifedipine keeps my bp @ 118/76 as an average. So far I have had no side effects, as I have been taking the medication for almost five months.

Adalat CC (nifedipine): Adalat 60mg helps my high blood pressure but I have to go to the bathroom a lot.

Procardia XL (nifedipine): For a month after starting this drug I was very cold especially my legs, and could not get warm, and I was very shaky and trembley. I felt miserable and didn't realize what was wrong until I stopped the drug and everything went back to normal right away.

nifedipine: Been taking for several month and swelling in my ankles and calves are a minor issue. First thing I do when I come home from work is put my feet up for about 30 minutes and that helps. Within about an 1 1/2 hours after going to bed I have to get up to pee, I think this is caused by the fluid build up. Blood pressure has been very good on this, about 126/85. I do feel tired and do not seem to have much energy most of the time.

Procardia XL (nifedipine): I've been taking Procardia XL for about 4 years now. My blood pressure stays fairly consistent. The only negative is that my feet and lower legs (knees down) swell a little when I'm standing for a long time. Fluids must accumulate in my lower extremities, I don't urinate as much when I'm standing, then urinate more than usual after I lay horizontal for a while. It does do a good job controlling the blood pressure and I only have to take 1 tablet a day.

nifedipine: 30mg twice a day, blood pressure averages 140/85. 60mg twice a day blood pressure averages 112/69. After 6 hours, blood pressure goes up to 170 /110 . Unfortunate side effect of erectile dysfunction. 20mg of Levitra helps a little. Doctor is now trying me on Terazosin so we'll see.

nifedipine: I was on a different brand of Adalat CC 30 mg. I am a Military Widow so fill most of my prescriptions at Military Base Pharmacies. In Dec. 2011, I had my prescription filled and noted the pill was different in color & size. The Military Pharmacist told me the Government had changed to a different drug company for Adalat and it might take 3 or more weeks before the new drug formula would work for me. Six weeks later, my blood pressure is not being controlled as well as my former Adalat prescription did. I can't switch to another brand for 90 days because TriCare for Life will not let me fill a new prescription till I run out of the brand I received. I cannot afford to pay over a $110 at a civilian pharmacy to change to another brand.
