Your doctor will decide to prescribe you medication.
Most patients tolerate Adalat® well. However, as with all drugs, side effects can occur. These can include dizziness, light-headedness, headaches or temporarily swollen ankles. For details, see the prescribing information.
Follow your doctor's recommendation. The controlled-release formulation of Adalat® is very convenient – just take one tablet once a day.
Follow your doctor's treatment plan exactly so you reach and maintain your blood pressure targets. Do not discontinue a medication unless instructed by your doctor. If you have a problem with a drug, always tell your doctor. As it is easy to forget to take a medicine when you first start taking it, make it part of your daily routine, just like brushing your teeth at a certain time of day.
