1.
WHAT CORACTEN XL IS AND WHAT IT IS USED FOR
Coracten XL contains nifedipine, which belongs to a group of medicines
called calcium-channel
blockers.
Used to treat:
•
high blood pressure in adults
To prevent:
•
chronic stable angina pectoris (heart/chest pain) in adults.
For high blood pressure: Coracten XL works by relaxing and expanding
the blood vessels. This makes
the blood flow more easily and lowers blood pressure. Lower blood
pressure reduces the strain on
your heart.
For angina: Coracten XL works by relaxing and expanding the arteries
supplying the heart. This
allows more blood and oxygen to reach the heart and decreases the
strain on it. Your angina attacks
will be less severe and less frequent if there is less strain on the
heart.
PLEASE NOTE:
These capsules are sustained-release capsules which release the active
ingredient
slowly over 24 hours. Do not use to treat attacks of angina or heart
attacks when they happen. See
your doctor if you are unsure why you have been prescribed these
capsules.
2. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE YOU TAKE CORACTEN XL
DO NOT TAKE CORACTEN XL:
•
if you are allergic to nifedipine or any of the othe
