Procardia

Procardia XL. Procardia XL extended-release capsules, marketed by Pfizer Labs Division of Pfizer, Inc., contain nifedipine [21829-25-4] a calcium channel blocker of mol wt 346.3. The extended release tablet is formulated as a once-a-day controlled release capsule for oral adrninistration dehvering either 30, 60, or 90 mg nifedipine. Procardia XL is indicated for use in the management of vasospastic angina, chronic stable angina, and hypertension (see Cardiovascularagents). [Pg.232]

Plasma dmg concentrations rise at a gradual, controlled rate after dosing, and reach a plateau at approximately 6 h after the first dose with minimal fluctuations over the 24 h dosing interval. Subsequent doses maintain the plasma concentration at this plateau. The extended release tablets taken once daily have reduced by fourfold the fluctuations (ratio of peak to trough plasma concentration) observed with the conventional immediate release Procardia tablets taken three times daily (81). [Pg.232]

Systemic and coronary arteries are influenced by movement of calcium across cell membranes of vascular smooth muscle. The contractions of cardiac and vascular smooth muscle depend on movement of extracellular calcium ions into these walls through specific ion channels. Calcium channel blockers, such as amlodipine (Norvasc), diltiazem (Cardizem), nicardipine (Cardene), nifedipine (Procardia), and verapamil (Calan), inhibit die movement of calcium ions across cell membranes. This results in less calcium available for the transmission of nerve impulses (Fig. 41-1). This drug action of the calcium channel blockers (also known as slow channel blockers) has several effects on die heart, including an effect on die smooth muscle of arteries and arterioles. These drug dilate coronary arteries and arterioles, which in turn deliver more oxygen to cardiac muscle. Dilation of peripheral arteries reduces die workload of die heart. The end effect of these drug is the same as that of die nitrates. [Pg.381]
