User Reviews for nifedipine oral

Bad headache throwing up

I've been on BP meds since 2005 none of them have brought my BP down. Was out of town my BP was a steady 170/100. Went to a dr. out of town and he prescribe me nifedipine. WOW 30 mg a day 135/80 if I take 60 mg a day I get 117/71 reading. Little bit of a headache but I'll deal with it. Finally my BP is controllable. Perhaps I'll find a cure for the headaches.

I was started on this drug after several attempts to lower my blood pressure. I have CKD so there are a lot of BP medicines I can't take. When my doctor started me on this medication, my BP immediately dropped to what we call a "safe zone". My BP is RARELY 120/80. I average 100-110/65-75 with this medicine, along with a few other medicines. I haven't had any side effects while taking this medicine. I would highly reccomment this medication to those who have HBP!

I like it. I previously took amlodipine (10 years), I switched to nifedipine after my gums swelled and my legs swelled too. I take it once a day and really like it. I take it for pulmonary hypertension.

I tried this medication and don't like it, it gave me headaches and swelling of feet it only lowered my numbers slightly. I will ask my doctor for something else A.S.A.P.

I HAVE JUST LEARNED FROM MY DAUGHTER WHO IS AN RN THAT THE SYMPTOMS I AM HAVING ARE A SEVERE ALLERGIC REACTION TO THIS MED. WHICH INCLUDES SEVERE HEADACHE, VERY SEVERE SORE THROAT AND A RASH ON MY TORSO. BE AWARE OF THESE SIDE EFFECTS. CALLING MY PC DR. FOR A CHANGE IN MEDS. HOPE THIS IS HELPFUL

This medication,at 60 mg,lowered BP from 180 to 160, which is not effective enough. Caused headaches, depression and fatigue. Tried to add additional 30 mg but could not stand the severity of the even worse headaches and nausea.

i have developed very painful muscles all over my body

I take nifedipine, sildenafil, and amlodipine for Raynaud's. It's working for me, and I've noted no side effects. I've been on this therapy for a couple years now, and although the Raynaud's is progressing, it's very slow and mild.

Stopped this med for a couple of weeks due to very low bp as I am also on Coreg. I started back when bp became relatively normal and had severe migraine, I will not go back on this med, as it did not work that well, and the pain I suffered while on it was very bad. I now take two-three coreg per day. .

I was put on this medication due to elevated b/p. I have now started having extreme swelling in my calves and ankles. Before starting this med I was not having the swelling problem. I get the generic brand, is it the dye in the pill or just not made for me? I can not make my Dr. understand the problem I am having. Any suggestions from anyone?

Take 60 mg once a day along with atenolol. Blood pressure is under control. No known side effects.

Iam satisfied so far

IVE BEEN ON THIS FOR 4 YEARS AND I HAD GOOD RESULTS.. I ALSO TAKE OTHER HBP MEDS THAT ARE HELPFUL.. I JUST FREAKED OUT WHEN THE PILL WAS IN MY STOOL...LOL 120/80...

Was prescribed 10mg one every 8 hrs. Have cut back to 2 daily lunch and bedtime. Side effects sleep problems, tired, leg cramps, muscle aches. It has helped with Raynouds but don't know if worth it. Pending Doc appt to take less or something else.

This med gave me mood swings and felt tired and very depressed. Did lower BP somewhat in conjunction with other BP meds. Stopped it for 3 days and now not so tired and depressed. Caused mental changes. Going to see my Doctor soon about it.

Severe headache and vomiting.

I am taking the drug 3x a day as needed for pre-term contractions. I've had little to no side effects but it also hasn't helped to ease the contractions all that much. Next week at 36 weeks gestation, I'll get the go ahead to stop taking it and let nature run its course.

Broke out in painful rash on legs & face.
