Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 is used to manage high blood pressure and the chest pain of angina, and to help with Raynaud's syndrome, in which cold or stress reduces blood flow to the fingers and toes.
It contains nifedipine, a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, which improves blood flow and eases the heart's workload.
Take it as prescribed, and continue it even when you feel well. Do not stop it suddenly without medical advice.
Tell your doctor about any liver problems, heart failure or very low blood pressure before use. Report marked ankle swelling, persistent dizziness or a fast heartbeat.

- Nervous System and Digestive: Headache, dizziness, feeling sick (nausea) and fatigue.

How Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 Works?
Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 contains nifedipine (10 mg), which works on the body as follows:
Calcium channel blockade: Nifedipine prevents calcium from entering the muscle cells of your heart and blood vessels. This action relaxes and widens your blood vessels, making blood flow easier.
Vasodilation: Nifedipine relaxes the smooth muscles in arterial walls, causing blood vessels to dilate (widen). This reduces the resistance against which your heart must pump.
Blood pressure reduction: The widening of blood vessels leads to decreased peripheral vascular resistance, which directly lowers blood pressure.
Coronary artery dilation: Nifedipine specifically dilates coronary arteries, improving blood supply to heart muscles and preventing angina pain during physical exertion or stress.

Doctor consultation is advised while taking Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 if you are pregnant, especially during the second and third trimesters. This medicine may potentially affect your unborn baby.
Breastfeeding
Doctor consultation is advised while taking Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 if you are breastfeeding.
Alcohol

Interactions of Nicardia 10 Capsule 15
Drug-Drug Interactions
Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 interacts with the following medicines:
CYP3A4 inhibitors: Medicines like erythromycin, ketoconazole, and itraconazole can increase nifedipine levels in your blood, potentially causing more side effects.
CYP3A4 inducers: Medicines like rifampin, phenytoin, and carbamazepine may decrease nifedipine concentrations, making Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 less effective.
Antihypertensives: When taken with medicines like lisinopril, atenolol, or hydrochlorothiazide, Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 may cause additive blood pressure-lowering effects.
Beta-blockers: Medicines such as metoprolol or propranolol combined with Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 can lead to enhanced blood pressure reduction.
Drug-Food Interactions
Grapefruit juice: Significantly increases nifedipine levels in your blood, which may increase the risk of side effects.
Drug-Disease Interactions
Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 interacts with the following diseases:
Liver impairment: People with severe liver problems may experience stronger effects of Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 as the medicine is metabolised more slowly.
Heart conditions: Patients with heart failure or aortic stenosis (narrowing of a heart valve) should use Nicardia 10 Capsule 15 cautiously, as it may worsen these conditions.
Kidney disease: Those with severe kidney problems may need dosage adjustments due to altered medication clearance.
Dosage of Nicardia 10 Capsule 15
