About this item
Adalat LA 30 belongs to a group of medicines called calcium channel blockers. The "LA" stands for Long-Acting, which means the tablet is engineered to release the active ingredient slowly into your bloodstream. This prevents the "peaks and troughs" associated with standard tablets, ensuring your blood pressure stays controlled even while you sleep. By relaxing the muscles of your heart and blood vessels, it reduces the effort required by the heart to pump blood.
Dosage of Adalat LA 30 This is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). Take exactly as directed by your physician.
- Typical Dose: One 30mg tablet once every 24 hours.
- Titration: Your doctor may increase the dose to 60mg or 90mg depending on your response.
Proper Administration
- Do Not Chew: The tablet must be swallowed whole. Do not crush, chew, or break it, as this will destroy the long-acting mechanism and release all the medicine at once, which can be dangerous.
- Timing: Take your tablet at the same time each day to maintain consistent control.
- Food Interaction: Can be taken with or without food. However, avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice (see Precautions).
- The "Ghost" Tablet: Do not be alarmed if you see something that looks like a tablet in your stool; the medication is absorbed, but the empty non-digestible shell is sometimes passed out of the body.
How to Store and Dispose of Adalat LA 30
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place below 30°C. Protect from strong light and moisture.
- Disposal: Keep out of reach of children. Return unused or expired tablets to your pharmacist.
Quick Tips for Adalat LA 30
- Consistency: Even if you feel well, do not stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor. High blood pressure often has no symptoms.
- Position Changes: Rise slowly from a sitting or lying position to avoid dizziness (orthostatic hypotension).
- Alcohol: Limit alcohol intake, as it can increase the blood-pressure-lowering effect and make you feel dizzy.
Safety and Precautions
Contraindications of Adalat LA 30
- Cardiovascular Shock: Not for use during or within one month of a heart attack.
- Pregnancy: Generally not recommended before week 20 of pregnancy.
- Kock Pouch: Should not be used by patients with a "Kock pouch" (a type of ileostomy).
- Known Allergies: Do NOT use if you are allergic to Nifedipine or other dihydropyridines.
Side Effects of Adalat LA 30
- Common: Headache, flushing (redness of the face), and swelling of the ankles or lower legs (edema).
- Less Common: Dizziness, constipation, or a fast/pounding heartbeat.
- Action: If you experience severe chest pain shortly after taking a dose, or an allergic reaction (swelling of the face/tongue), seek emergency medical help.
Precautions and Warnings
- Grapefruit Warning: Do NOT consume grapefruit or its juice while on Adalat LA. It interferes with how the body breaks down Nifedipine, leading to dangerously high levels in the blood.
- Liver Function: Dose adjustments may be needed if you have liver problems.
- Diabetes: Nifedipine may slightly affect blood sugar control in some patients.
- Pack Size: 30 Tablets (usually in blister strips).
- Form: Extended-Release (Long-Acting) Oral Tablet.
- Active Ingredient: Nifedipine 30mg.
