Get Cardene Online

Cardene (nicardipine) is a prescription calcium channel blocker approved for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and chronic stable angina. By relaxing the smooth muscle in arterial walls, it allows blood to flow more easily and reduces the workload on the heart.

Cardene is available as an immediate-release capsule typically taken three times daily, and as a sustained-release capsule taken twice daily. Your prescribing physician will determine the appropriate formulation and dose based on your blood pressure goals and overall health.

Many patients see a reduction in blood pressure within one to two hours of the first dose. However, reaching a stable, optimal blood pressure level can take a few days to weeks of consistent use at the right dose. Regular follow-up with your provider is important during this period.

Common side effects include headache, flushing, dizziness, swelling in the ankles or feet (peripheral edema), and an increased heart rate (reflex tachycardia). Most side effects are mild and often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Contact your provider if side effects are severe or persistent.

Cardene should be used with caution in patients with advanced aortic stenosis, severe liver impairment, or significantly low blood pressure (hypotension). It is not recommended during pregnancy without careful physician evaluation. Always inform your provider of all medical conditions and medications before starting Cardene.

Cardene can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents, but combining it with other medications that lower blood pressure can cause an additive effect and increase the risk of hypotension. Your physician will review all of your current medications to ensure the combination is safe and appropriate for you.
