What is Procardia Xl?
Procardia Xl is an extended-release medication that treats chest pain (angina) and reduces high blood pressure (hypertension). Procardia Xl reduces blood pressure and helps prevent chest pain by relaxing the muscles of the heart.
The active ingredient in Procardia Xl, nifedipine, belongs to a class of blood pressure reducing medications called calcium channel blockers. The calcium channel is the primary mechanism the body uses to send electrical signals through nerve cells and activate muscles to contract through nerve signals. When the calcium channel is blocked by a substance such as nifedipine, this both slows down nerve signals and weakens muscles, like the heart. As a result, the heart beats with less strength, which both reduces the strain on the heart and “pushes” the blood out of the heart with less pressure.
In addition, the muscles in the blood vessels also weaken, causing the blood vessels to expand. Again, this both reduces the strain on the heart and lowers blood pressure.
Procardia Xl is taken as a tablet once per day. The dose will depend on the severity of the underlying condition and its responsiveness to treatment. Procardia Xl is also available in a standard-release format.
What are the side effects of Procardia Xl?
