Our goal is to provide you with the most relevant and current
information. However, because drugs affect each person differently, we
cannot guarantee that this information includes all possible side
effects. This information is not a substitute for medical advice. Always
discuss possible side effects with a healthcare provider who knows your

Carvedilol
oral tablet can interact with other medications, herbs, or vitamins you
might be taking. That’s why your doctor should manage all of your
medications carefully. If you’re curious about how this drug might
interact with something else you’re taking, talk to your doctor or
pharmacist.
Note: You can reduce your chances of drug interactions
by having all of your prescriptions filled at the same pharmacy. That
way, a pharmacist can check for possible drug interactions.
Examples of drugs that can cause interactions with carvedilol are listed below.
Heart rhythm drugs
Taking
certain heart rhythm drugs with carvedilol can cause more severe side
effects. The combination may lower your heart rate or blood pressure, or
worsen a heart blockage. Your doctor may watch you closely for side
effects or adjust the dosage of carvedilol or your heart rhythm drug.
Examples of these drugs include:
amiodarone
bretylium
quinidine
digoxin
disopyramide
encainide
flecainide
moricizine
propafenone
procainamide
sotalol
Blood pressure drug
Using clonidine
with carvedilol can lower your blood pressure and heart rate even
further. If you’re switching to carvedilol from clonidine, your doctor
will slowly take you off clonidine. You’ll start carvedilol several days
after stopping clonidine. If you need both drugs, your doctor will
watch you for low blood pressure and low heart rate. If you’re on both
drugs and both need to be stopped, your doctor will stop your treatment
with carvedilol first and clonidine a few days later.
Other beta-blockers
Carvedilol
shouldn’t be used with another beta-blocker. This combination may lower
your heart rate and blood pressure too much. Examples of other
beta-blockers include:
acebutolol
atenolol
bisoprolol
metoprolol
propranolol
Calcium channel blockers
If
you take a calcium channel blocker with carvedilol, your doctor will
monitor your blood pressure and heart rhythm. Examples of these drugs
include:
diltiazem
verapamil
Diabetes drugs
Using
carvedilol with certain diabetes drugs can make these diabetes drugs
lower your blood sugar levels further. If you take these diabetes drugs
with carvedilol, you’ll need to check your blood sugar regularly.
Examples of these drugs include:
insulin
oral diabetes drugs
Transplant rejection drug
Taking carvedilol with cyclosporine
may increase the levels of cyclosporine in your body. Your doctor may
lower your dosage of cyclosporine and monitor you closely. Disclaimer:
Our goal is to provide you with the most relevant and current
information. However, because drugs interact differently in each person,
we cannot guarantee that this information includes all possible
interactions. This information is not a substitute for medical advice.
Always speak with your healthcare provider about possible interactions
with all prescription drugs, vitamins, herbs and supplements, and
over-the-counter drugs that you are taking.
Don’t
take this drug again if you’ve ever had an allergic reaction to it.
Taking it again could be fatal. Symptoms of an allergic reaction
include:
rash or hives
itching
blistering or peeling skin
fever
problems breathing or chest tightness
swelling of your mouth, face, lips, tongue or throat
If
you have a history of severe, life-threatening allergic reactions to
different allergens, you’re at a higher risk of having the same reaction
to beta-blockers. Tell your doctor about all of your allergies before
starting this medication. Don’t take this drug again if you’ve ever had an allergic reaction to it. Taking it again could be fatal (cause death).
Alcohol interaction warning
Talk
to your doctor before using alcohol while taking this medication. If
you drink alcohol while taking carvedilol, your blood pressure may
decrease to levels that are lower than normal. This can be dangerous.
Warnings for people with certain health conditions
For people with asthma:If
you have asthma or a related condition, you shouldn’t use this drug. A
single dose of carvedilol can be fatal in people with asthma.
For people with heart problems:
Second- or third-degree heart block: Carvedilol can make your heart block worse.
Heart rhythm problems: If you already have a heart rhythm problem, such as sick sinus syndrome, taking carvedilol can make it worse.
Very low heart rate:
This drug can slow down your heart rate even more, possibly to
dangerously low levels. Don’t take carvedilol if you have a very low
heart rate unless you have a permanent pacemaker.
Cardiogenic shock or decompensated heart failure:
People with shock or decompensated failure that requires the use of
certain medications (inotropic therapy that’s administered into your
veins) shouldn’t use this drug. It can make the condition worse.
Chronic heart failure: Carvedilol
can worsen heart failure or fluid retention, especially during dosage
increases. Carvedilol can further decrease the force of contraction of
your heart and slow down your heart rate. This may make your heart
failure worse if your dosage is increased too quickly. Your doctor may
need to lower your dosage or temporarily stop carvedilol if this
happens.
For people with severe liver problems: You
shouldn’t take this medication. It’s broken down by your liver. When
your liver isn’t working properly, taking this medication can result in
higher amounts of it in your body. This may lead to serious side
effects, such as dangerously low blood pressure or slow heart rate. For people with low blood pressure: Carvedilol can cause dangerously low blood pressure that may cause you to lose consciousness. For people with chronic bronchitis or emphysema: You
shouldn’t take carvedilol or other beta-blockers. This drug can affect
not only your heart, but also your lungs. Its effects in your lungs can
lead to tightened airways, making it difficult for you to breath. For people with diabetes: Carvedilol
can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) and delay how long it takes
for your blood sugar to return to normal. It may also mask the signs of
low blood sugar. Use this drug with caution if you have diabetes,
especially if you take insulin or other diabetes drugs that can cause
low blood sugar. If you have diabetes and are taking this medication for
heart failure, it may increase your blood sugar levels. You’ll need to
monitor your blood sugar and your doctor will adjust your medications
accordingly. For people with peripheral vascular disease: Use caution if you have peripheral vascular disease and take carvedilol. This drug can make your symptoms worse. For people with kidney problems: Carvedilol
can worsen your kidney function if you have heart failure. You’re at a
higher risk if you have low blood pressure or heart or vascular disease.
Your doctor will monitor your kidney function and may lower your dosage
or stop your treatment with carvedilol. For people with hyperactive thyroid: Carvedilol
can mask the symptoms of a hyperactive thyroid (hyperthyroidism). If
you stop taking carvedilol suddenly and have hyperthyroidism, your
symptoms can get worse or you may develop a serious condition called thyroid storm For people with pheochromocytoma: Take this medication with caution if you have this condition. For people with Prinzmetal’s variant angina: If you have this condition (chest pain that occurs between midnight and the early morning), use caution if you take carvedilol. For people with intraoperative floppy iris syndrome: Before
receiving any type of cataract surgery, tell your doctor that you’re
taking this drug. You’re at an increased risk of getting a condition
called small pupil syndrome during surgery.
Warnings for other groups
For pregnant women: Carvedilol is a category C pregnancy drug. That means two things:
Research in animals has shown adverse effects to the fetus when the mother takes the drug.
There haven’t been enough studies done in humans to be certain how the drug might affect the fetus.
Tell
your doctor if you’re pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Carvedilol
should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies
the potential risk to the fetus. For women who are breastfeeding: It
isn’t known if carvedilol passes into breast milk. If it does, it may
cause serious effects in a breastfeeding child. You and your doctor may
need to decide if you’ll take carvedilol or breastfeed. For seniors: Seniors may be more likely to experience dizziness while taking this drug. For children: It has not been established that carvedilol is safe and effective for use in people under the age of 18 years.

This medication has not been studied in children. It should not be used in people younger than 18 years.
Senior dosage (ages 65 years and older)
The kidneys of older adults may not work as well as they used to. This can cause your body to process drugs more slowly. As a result, more of a drug stays in your body for a longer time. This increases your risk of side effects. Your doctor may start you on a lowered dose or a different medication schedule. This can help keep levels of this drug from building up too much in your body.

Nifedipine oral tablet is available as both a generic drug and brand-name ride. Brand names: Adalat CC, Afeditab CR, and Procardia XL.
Nifedipine
tablets are an extended-release form of the drug. Nifedipine is also
available in immediate-release oral capsules. The capsules are available
as the brand-name drug Procardia. They are also available in a generic drug.
Nifedipine
is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It’s also used to
treat two types of angina (chest pain): vasospastic angina and chronic
stable angina.
Nifedipine oral tablet is a prescription drug that’s available as the brand-name drugs Adalat CC, Afeditab CR, and Procardia XL.
These are all extended-release tablets. An extended-release drug is
slowly released into your bloodstream over time. Nifedipine
immediate-release capsules are available as the brand-name drug Procardia. The capsules are used to treat angina (chest pain). The tablets are used to treat either high blood pressure or angina.
Both
the nifedipine immediate-release capsules and extended-release tablets
are also available as generic drugs. Generic drugs usually cost less. In
some cases, they may not be available in every strength or form as the
brand-name version.
Why it's used
Nifedipine is used to
lower blood pressure in people with hypertension. It’s also used to
treat vasospastic angina (chest pain due to a spasm in arteries around
the heart) or chronic stable angina (chest pain that occurs with
activity or stress). The drug form used depends on the condition it is
treating. Talk to your doctor about which form is right for you.
Nifedipine
may be used as part of a combination therapy. This means you may need
to take it with other medications. If you are using it to treat high
blood pressure, you may take it with other drugs that lower blood
pressure. If you are using it to treat angina, you may take it with
nitrates (nitroglycerin products) or beta-blockers.
How it works
Nifedipine
belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. A class of
drugs is a group of medications that work in a similar way. These drugs
are often used to treat similar conditions.
Calcium channel
blockers help lower blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels
throughout your body. As a result, less pressure is built up and your
heart does not have to work as hard to pump blood.
Calcium channel
blockers help to prevent angina in two ways. First, they lower pressure
in the coronary arteries (the arteries that supply blood to your
heart). As a result, your heart receives more blood and oxygen. Second,
they help prevent spasm of the coronary arteries. (A spasm is a
temporary, sudden narrowing of these arteries.)
Nifedipine oral tablet doesn’t cause drowsiness. However, it may cause other side effects.
More common side effects
The more common side effects that can occur with nifedipine include:
headache
nausea
dizziness or lightheadedness
flushing (reddening of the skin)
heartburn
muscle cramps
constipation
cough
decreased sexual ability or desire
edema (swelling in the legs or feet)
weakness
If
these effects are mild, they may go away within a few days or a couple
of weeks. If they’re more severe or don’t go away, talk to your doctor
or pharmacist.
Serious side effects
Call your doctor right
away if you have serious side effects. Call 911 if your symptoms feel
life-threatening or if you think you’re having a medical emergency.
Serious side effects and their symptoms can include the following:
Edema (fluid retention). Symptoms can include:
swelling in the arms, hands, lower legs, feet, or ankles

Nifedipine oral
tablet can interact with other medications, vitamins, or herbs you may
be taking. An interaction is when a substance changes the way a drug
works. This can be harmful or prevent the drug from working well.
To
help avoid interactions, your doctor should manage all of your
medications carefully. Be sure to tell your doctor about all
medications, vitamins, or herbs you’re taking. To find out how this drug
might interact with something else you’re taking, talk to your doctor
or pharmacist.
Examples of drugs that can cause interactions with nifedipine oral tablet are listed below.
Antibiotics
Taking
certain antibiotics with nifedipine can cause higher levels of
nifedipine in your body. This can increase your risk of side effects
from nifedipine. These drugs include:
clarithromycin
erythromycin
quinupristin/dalfopristin
Taking
the antibiotic rifampin can decrease the levels of nifedipine in your
body. This could make nifedipine less effective. You shouldn’t take
rifampin and nifedipine together.
Antifungal drugs
Taking
certain antifungal drugs with nifedipine can cause higher levels of
nifedipine in your body. This can increase your risk of side effects
from nifedipine. These drugs include:
fluconazole
itraconazole
ketoconazole
Antiviral drugs
Taking
certain antiviral drugs with nifedipine can cause higher levels of
nifedipine in your body. This can increase your risk of side effects
from nifedipine. These drugs include:
atazanavir
delavirdine
fosamprenavir
indinavir
nelfinavir
ritonavir
Antiseizure drugs
Taking
certain antiseizure drugs with nifedipine can cause lower levels of
nifedipine in your body. This can make it less effective. These drugs
include:
phenytoin
carbamazepine
Taking
other antiseizure drugs with nifedipine can cause higher levels of
nifedipine in your body. This raises your risk of side effects from
nifedipine. These drugs include:
valproic acid
Heart drugs
Digoxin
is used to treat heart rhythm problems. Using digoxin with nifedipine
can increase or decrease the amount of digoxin in your body. If you take
these drugs together, your doctor should monitor the level of digoxin
in your body.
Other drugs
Beta-blockers
are used to treat many conditions. These include high blood pressure,
migraines, or heart failure. Using these drugs with nifedipine has a low
risk of causing heart failure, extremely low blood pressure, or a
worsening of chest pain (angina).
If you’re taking a beta-blocker
and your doctor has you stop taking it before starting nifedipine, the
beta-blocker should be tapered slowly. Stopping it suddenly could cause
increased chest pains. Beta-blockers include:
atenolol
metoprolol
nadolol
propranolol
timolol
Doxazosin
is used to treat high blood pressure, as well as benign prostate
hyperplasia in men. Using doxazosin with nifedipine can lower the amount
of doxazosin in your body. This makes it less effective. Using these
drugs together can also cause increased levels of nifedipine in your
body. This raises your risk of dangerous side effects. Disclaimer:

drug and not your condition. Talk to your doctor to find out the true
cause of any increased swelling you may have. Your doctor can help you
decide how to manage it. For people with liver disease: Your
liver clears this drug from your blood. If your liver isn’t working
right, the level of nifedipine in your blood may become too high. For people with low blood pressure: If
you have episodes of low blood pressure, taking nifedipine may make
these episodes worse. This may be more likely to occur when you first
start taking nifedipine, or when your doctor increases your dose. Talk
to your doctor if you have frequent episodes of low blood pressure. For people with a history of gastrointestinal blockage: There
have been rare reports of gastrointestinal blockage with use of the
brand-name drug Procardia XL. You may be at greater risk for this
blockage if you have a history of it. For people with severe heart disease: There
have been rare reports of worsening chest pain and heart attack in
people who have severe heart disease. Nifedipine capsules (Procardia)
should not be taken within the first week or two after a heart attack.
Ask your doctor about this risk to see if nifedipine is right for you.
Warnings for other groups
For pregnant women: Nifedipine is a category C pregnancy drug. That means two things:
Research in animals has shown adverse effects to the fetus when the mother takes the drug.
There haven’t been enough studies done in humans to be certain how the drug might affect the fetus.
Talk
to your doctor if you’re pregnant or planning to become pregnant. This
drug should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the
potential risk to the fetus. Call your doctor if you become pregnant
while taking this drug. For women who are breastfeeding: Nifedipine
may pass into breast milk and can cause serious side effects in a child
who is breastfed. Tell your doctor if you are breastfeeding. You should
decide whether you will stop breastfeeding or stop taking nifedipine. For children: This medication has not been studied in children. It should not be used in people younger than 18 years. Disclaimer:
