POSOLOGY AND METHOD OF ADMINISTRATION
Posology
Treatment should as far as possible be administered individually on
the basis of the severity of the
condition and the patient's response.
The target dose should be reached gradually, depending on the medical
condition concerned.
Patients with severe cerebrovascular disorders should be treated with
low doses.
Nifedipine 10 mg prolonged-release is particularly suitable for
patients with high blood pressure, who
suffer from cerebrovascular disease and for those, where an excessive
reaction to nifedipine can be
expected because of low body weight or because of concomitant
treatment with other blood pressure
reducing medicines. Patients whose side effects to the nifedipine
treatment would seem to make a
more subtle adjustment of the dosage level desirable should also have
the dose of Nifedipine 10 mg
prolonged-release adapted individually.
If not prescribed otherwise, the recommended dose for adults is:
_Chronic stable angina pectoris_
1 prolonged-release tablet (nifedipine 10 mg) twice daily.
If necessary the daily dose may be increased gradually to 2 x 20 mg up
to 2 x 40 mg of nifedipine.
2
_Vasospastic angina pectoris (Prinzmetal’s angina, variant angina)_
1 prolonged-release tablet (nifedipine 10 mg) twice daily.
If necessary the dose may be increased gradually to 2 x 20 mg up to 2
x 40 mg of nifedipine
