Adalat XL (active ingredient: nifedipine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Adalat XL is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) in adults. It helps to lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
  2. Angina Pectoris: It is also indicated for the treatment of chronic stable angina pectoris (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease.

Adalat XL belongs to a class of drugs known as dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing the blood vessels and reducing the workload on the heart, leading to decreased blood pressure and improved blood flow to the heart.

Adalat XL comes in the form of extended-release tablets that are designed to release the medication nifedipine slowly over a period. Adalat XL should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor. It is usually taken once a day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with water and do not crush or chew it.

The recommended doses of Adalat XL (nifedipine extended-release tablets) may vary depending on the condition being treated and other individual factors. The recommended starting dose for hypertension or angina is 30 or 60 mg taken once daily orally. Your doctor may adjust your dose based on your response and any side effects that you experience. The maximum recommended daily dose of Adalat XL is 90 mg. However, you should always follow your doctor’s instructions and take Adalat XL exactly as prescribed.

Do not stop taking Adalat XL without talking to your doctor as suddenly stopping the medication can cause your blood pressure to rise quickly and may lead to other health problems.
