What Is Nifedipine ER 90mg?

Nifedipine ER is an extended-release calcium channel blocker, also known by the brand name Procardia XL. It works by relaxing blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard, which lowers blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart. Doctors prescribe nifedipine ER to manage hypertension and to help prevent angina (chest pain) caused by coronary artery spasm or chronic stable angina. The extended-release tablet is taken once daily and releases medication gradually over 24 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is nifedipine ER used for?

Nifedipine ER is used to treat high blood pressure and to help prevent chest pain from chronic stable angina or vasospastic angina. It belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers, which relax blood vessels and improve blood flow.

Do I need a prescription for nifedipine ER 90mg?

Yes. Nifedipine ER is a prescription-only medication in the United States. A licensed healthcare provider must review your health information and prescription before we can dispense it.

How does ordering and shipping work?

After you place your order, a licensed provider or pharmacist reviews your prescription and medical details. Once approved, your medication is dispensed and shipped directly to you from a licensed U.S. pharmacy.

Is nifedipine ER the same as Procardia XL?

Yes. Procardia XL is the brand name for extended-release nifedipine. The tablets are designed to release the medication gradually over 24 hours, so they are taken once daily.

Can I split or crush nifedipine ER tablets?

No. Extended-release tablets must be swallowed whole to work properly. Crushing, chewing, or splitting them can release too much medication at once, which may be dangerous.

Can I eat grapefruit while taking nifedipine ER?

No. Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can increase the amount of nifedipine in your blood and raise the risk of side effects like low blood pressure. Avoid grapefruit products while taking this medication.

How long does it take nifedipine ER to work?

Nifedipine ER begins lowering blood pressure with the first doses, but it may take several weeks to see the full effect. Take it consistently as prescribed and do not stop without talking to your provider.
