Cardene (active ingredient: nicardipine hydrochloride) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

  1. Hypertension: Cardene is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension).
  2. Angina Pectoris: It is indicated for the management of chronic stable angina and angina due to coronary artery spasm.

Cardene belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing blood vessels and improving blood flow, thereby reducing blood pressure and relieving angina symptoms.

Cardene is available as tablet to be taken orally. The tablet is commonly taken three times a day, around the same time(s) every day, to help you remember to take it. Follow the directions on the prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist if you have any questions. Cardene should be taken exactly as directed and should not be taken more or less frequently than prescribed by your doctor. Swallow the tablet whole, without splitting, chewing, or crushing them.

Use of Cardene controls chest pain, but it does not stop chest pain once it begins. Additionally, Cardene controls high blood pressure and chest pain, but does not cure them. Continue taking Cardene even if you are feeling well, unless directed otherwise by your doctor. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your doctor.

The recommended dosages for Cardene depend on the specific formulation and the individual patient’s needs. The effective doses in clinical trials have ranged from 30 mg to 60 mg two times daily. The IV formulation should be titrated to achieve the desired blood pressure reduction, and the initial infusion rate is typically 5 mg/hour.
