Calcigard-10 Capsule is used to manage high blood pressure, prevent angina (chest pain), and control chest pain caused by coronary artery spasm. It is effective in treating chronic stable angina and pain from coronary spasms in patients unresponsive to beta-blockers or nitrates.

Take Calcigard-10 Capsule as suggested below:

Swallow the capsule whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew it.
Ensure you do not exceed the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.
Do not stop taking this medicine abruptly. If you want to discontinue, first consult your doctor who can guide you on gradually reducing the dose.

Calcigard-10 Capsule is taken orally.

Calcigard-10 Capsule may cause side effects such as headache, dizziness, lightheadedness, flushing, weakness, nausea, constipation, and swelling in the ankles or feet (peripheral edema). Consult your doctor if these symptoms persist.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Calcigard-10 Capsule. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor. Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Dizziness or lightheadedness: If you feel dizzy after taking this medicine, consider taking it at bedtime.
Nausea: If you feel sick after taking Calcigard-10 Capsule, try taking it with food to lessen this effect.

Calcigard-10 Capsule contains Nifedipine (10 mg). The way it works in the body can be summarised as follows:

Relaxation of Blood Vessels: Nifedipine helps relax the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This results in lower blood pressure and improved blood flow to the heart.
Inhibition of Calcium Influx: Nifedipine inhibits the movement of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle cells. These cells rely on the movement of calcium from outside the cells through specific ion channels for their contraction processes. By blocking calcium influx, Nifedipine reduces the resistance of peripheral blood vessels and the oxygen demand on the heart.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Calcigard-10 Capsule if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Nifedipine, the active ingredient in Calcigard-10 Capsule, is secreted in human milk. You should discuss with your doctor whether to discontinue nursing or stop the medicine.

Alcohol

It's better to avoid alcohol when taking Calcigard-10 Capsule, as it can worsen side effects like dizziness and lightheadedness.

Liver

Use of Calcigard-10 Capsule should be with caution if you have liver problems. This medicine may affect liver function, so do discuss this with your doctor.

Kidney

Caution is advised before using Calcigard-10 Capsule if you have a history of any kidney problems. It is a good idea to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Using Machines & Driving

Nifedipine, contained within Calcigard-10 Capsule, may cause dizziness. Be cautious when driving or operating machinery after taking this medicine.

Allergy

If you know you are allergic to nifedipine or any inactive ingredients in Calcigard-10 Capsule, do not take it. Discuss with your doctor other options for managing high blood pressure and angina.

Children

Calcigard-10 Capsule should only be given to children under medical supervision and consultation with a doctor due to the limited data available on its use in this age group.

Older Patients

Older patients should take Calcigard-10 Capsule under medical supervision as they may be more susceptible to its side effects. Caution is advised if patients are above 70 years of age. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Drug-Drug Interactions

Calcigard-10 Capsule interacts with the following medicines:

Anti-hypertensive Medicines: Medicines like amlodipine or lisinopril may interact with Calcigard-10 Capsule, potentially leading to low blood pressure (hypotension).
Beta-Blockers: Medicines like atenolol can interact with Calcigard-10 Capsule, increasing the risk of heart failure or severe hypotension.
Heart Medications: Digoxin can interact with Calcigard-10 Capsule, leading to increased levels of digoxin in the body.
CYP3A4 Inhibitors: Medicines like ketoconazole and itraconazole can increase nifedipine levels in your blood.
CYP3A4 Inducers: Phenytoin and carbamazepine can reduce the effectiveness of nifedipine.

Drug-Food Interactions

Calcigard-10 Capsule interacts with grapefruit. Here's how:

Grapefruit and Grapefruit Juice: These can increase nifedipine levels in your blood.

Drug-Disease Interactions

Calcigard-10 Capsule interacts with the following diseases:

Low Blood Pressure (Hypotension): Use this medicine cautiously as it may further decrease your blood pressure.
Heart Failure: If you have heart failure, use this medicine with caution as it may worsen your condition.
Liver Problems: The medicine needs careful monitoring in patients with liver problems as it undergoes extensive first-pass metabolism in the liver.

Daily Dose

It's essential that you take Calcigard-10 Capsule as per your doctor's prescription. The dosage may differ depending on individual factors such as how severe your condition is and how well you respond to the medication. Never exceed the prescribed dose without consulting your doctor.

Over Dose

Overdosing on Calcigard-10 Capsule might result in excessive relaxation of blood vessels, causing extremely low blood pressure, slower heart rate, and a specific type of heart rhythm disturbance. If you suspect an overdose, it's advisable to consult your doctor.

Missed Dose

If you miss a dose of Calcigard-10 Capsule, it's important to take it as soon as you remember. However, if it's nearly time for your next dose, skip the one you missed and continue with your regular schedule. Never adjust your dosage without speaking to your doctor first.

Store Calcigard-10 Capsule at room temperature, ideally between 15-30°C.
Keep the capsule in a tightly closed container, protected from light and moisture.
Ensure it is safely out of reach of children.
Always check the expiry date before use. Do not use if the product is past its expiry date.

Maintain a low-sodium diet: High salt intake can raise blood pressure, so reducing salt can help manage hypertension, a condition Calcigard-10 Capsule helps control.
Regular Physical Activity: Engaging in regular exercise can aid in lowering blood pressure and improving heart health. However, always consult your doctor to determine an appropriate exercise routine for your health needs.
