Procardia XL (active ingredient: nifedipine) is a prescription medication indicated for the following:

Hypertension: Procardia XL is used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) in adults.
Angina: It is also indicated for the management of chronic stable angina and vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal’s or variant angina).

Procardia XL belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing and widening blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.

Procardia XL is an extended-release tablet that is typically taken once a day, and it should be swallowed whole rather than broken or chewed. Take the extended-release tablet on an empty stomach. Your dose needs may change if you switch to a different brand, strength, or form of Procardia XL. Avoid medication errors by using only the form and strength your doctor prescribes. Your blood pressure will need to be checked often and you may need other medical tests.

Keep using procardia tablet even if you feel well. Use all your heart or blood pressure medications as directed and read all medication guides you receive. Do not change your dose or stop taking your medicine without your doctor’s advice. You may have extremely low blood pressure while taking this medication. Call your doctor if you are sick with vomiting or diarrhea, or if you are sweating more than usual. If you need surgery, tell the surgeon ahead of time that you are using Procardia XL.

You may need to stop using the medicine at least 36 hours before surgery. Some tablets are made with a shell that is not absorbed or melted in the body. Part of this shell may appear in your stool. This is normal and will not make the medicine less effective. Store in the original container at room temperature, away from moisture, heat, and light.
