General Information on Cardene SR
Cardene SR is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It may either be used alone or along with other antihypertensive drugs to treat the condition.
Nicardipine hydrochloride, the main active ingredient in the drug, belongs to a group of medicines known as calcium channel blockers. It works to slow down the rate of calcium movement in the heart cells and blood vessels. This allows the blood to flow more easily and decreases the load on the heart as blood is pumped more easily.
Cardene SR is available in the form of a sustained release capsule. It is available in three different concentrations- 30mg, 45mg and 60mg. The drug is a prescription medication, so you must buy Cardene SR only if it is recommended by your doctor.
Side effects of Cardene SR
People with medical problems such as liver disease, kidney disease, or heart disease (such as aortic stenosis, low blood pressure, sick sinus syndrome, or coronary heart disease) should not use Cardene SR unless prescribed by their doctor. The doctor may have to adjust the dose of the medication for people with the above mentioned medical problems.
Some people may experience common side effects such as water retention, nausea, flushing, or dizziness after taking a dose of Cardene SR. These common side effects generally wane over time and do not require any treatment. However, if any side effects persist or become bothersome, contact your doctor.
Cardene SR may also cause severe side effects in some people. Chest pain, difficulty breathing, irregular heart rhythm, anxiety, depression, confusion, light headedness, or dizziness are some of the severe side effects associated with the drug.
In rare cases, Cardene SR may cause allergic reactions such as difficulty swallowing or breathing, unexplained rashes or swelling, itching, or wheezing. Stop using the medication and seek emergency help if you experience severe side effects or allergic reactions after using Cardene SR.
Cardene SR may interact with other drugs you are using and cause side effects. Inform your doctor about the different drugs you are taking, which includes prescription medications, over the counter drugs, or herbal supplements before you buy Cardene SR.
Dosage of Cardene SR
The dosage of Cardene SR depends on the other medical conditions you have and the other drugs you are taking. You can take the medication with or without food.
The recommended initial dose to treat hypertension is two capsules of Cardene SR 30mg a day. If required, your doctor may increase the dose to two capsules of Cardene SR 60mg per day.
Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water, and do not break or chew it. Take the medication at the same time every day to maintain a constant level of the medication in your blood.
