ADALAT LA IS USED TO TREAT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE OR ANGINA _(chest
pain)_.
For high blood pressure: Adalat LA 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: Adalat LA 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.

In mild to moderate hypertension, the recommended initial dose is one

maximum of 90 mg once-daily.
Patients in whom hypertension or anginal symptoms are controlled on
Adalat capsules or Adalat retard
may be safely switched to Adalat LA. Prophylactic anti-anginal
efficacy is maintained when patients are
switched from other calcium antagonists such as diltiazem or verapamil
to Adalat LA. Patients switched
from other calcium antagonists should initiate therapy at the
recommended initial dose of 30 mg Adalat
LA once-daily. Subsequent titration to a higher dose may be initiated
as warranted clinically.
Co-administration with CYP 3A4 inhibitors or CYP 3A4 inducers may
result in the recommendation to
adapt the nifedipine dose or not to use nifedipine at all (see section
4.5).
