Drug Interactions

Nifedipine 10 mg/ml Topical Gel is a semisolid formulation that is dispensed through a pump mechanism. This design allows for easy and precise application on the skin, ensuring targeted treatment or absorption of the active ingredients. The gel-like consistency of the formulation enhances the absorption of nifedipine, a potent calcium channel blocker, into the skin.

This topical gel is primarily indicated for the treatment of hypertension, angina, and Raynaud's phenomenon. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure. However, it is crucial to note that this formulation should not be used in patients with known hypersensitivity to nifedipine or any of its components.

Extra caution should be exercised when using this formulation in patients with renal impairment, as nifedipine is known to be renally excreted. Regular monitoring for signs of hypotension is recommended, especially when initiating therapy. This is because nifedipine can lower blood pressure significantly, which may lead to symptoms such as dizziness or fainting.

Patients should also be monitored for signs of edema, as nifedipine can cause fluid retention. This can result in swelling in the hands, ankles, or feet. It is also important to note that this formulation should not be used in combination with other topical medications, as this may increase the risk of adverse effects.

If any questions or concerns arise regarding the use of Nifedipine 10 mg/ml Topical Gel, it is recommended to seek professional medical advice. This will ensure the safe and effective use of this medication.
