Nifedipine, the generic name of nifedipine, as a short-acting calcium antagonist antihypertensive drug category, has been in clinical use for more than 30 years, can be called on the antihypertensive drug is the "older generation". The drug not only has the ideal antihypertensive effects, can reduce stroke and cardiovascular disease incidence, and in patients with hypertension can reduce the invalidity and mortality rates.
In addition, the drug prices low, so are many patients of all ages. However, due to the rapid expansion of nifedipine a peripheral role, therefore, enable some patients with hypertension headache, blush, and other side effects.
Experts suggested that those with angina or myocardial infarction in patients with hypertension, if necessary the use of calcium antagonists, the maximum possible choice of long-acting formulations. Clinical Practice confirmed that the long-acting calcium antagonist on patients with cardiovascular disease, with safety and effectiveness, particularly for the elderly isolated systolic hypertension (systolic blood pressure greater than 140 mm Hg, diastolic blood pressure less than 90 millimeters of mercury Column) more effective. When patients with blood pressure fluctuations or significantly increased, the sublingual nifedipine serving 15 to 30 minutes, blood pressure will be significantly decreased.
The use of nifedipine after the patients with mild ankle edema, can reduce sodium intake to alleviate. May, when necessary, a small number of intermittent use of diuretics, such as chlorine thiazin-dihydrochloride, such drugs also has coordinated relief role. For after taking nifedipine significantly speed up the heart rate, blood pressure control is not an ideal patient, plus-blockers, such as metoprolol, and so on, can reduce heart rate, but also coordinated relief. Nifedipine can not tolerate the side effects patients may be diverted to use long-acting calcium antagonist or other types of antihypertensive drug treatment.
