About This Medicine
Product description & overview
Folcardia XL 30 Tablet contains Nifedipine 30mg, a calcium channel blocker used primarily to treat hypertension and angina pectoris. By inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells, Folcardia XL promotes vasodilation, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure. This extended-release formulation ensures a gradual and sustained release of Nifedipine, providing prolonged therapeutic effects and improving patient compliance by reducing dosing frequency. Folcardia XL is effective in preventing angina attacks by improving oxygen supply to the heart muscle and decreasing myocardial oxygen demand. It is commonly prescribed for patients with chronic stable angina, vasospastic angina, and essential hypertension. Patients should take Folcardia XL as directed by their healthcare provider, typically once daily, with or without food. Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, flushing, and peripheral edema. It is important to monitor blood pressure regularly while on this medication. Folcardia XL should be used cautiously in patients with severe hypotension, heart failure, or liver impairment. Always consult a healthcare professional before starting or stopping Folcardia XL to ensure safe and effective treatment tailored to individual health needs.
