Adalat XL is a medication commonly prescribed to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing for easier blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart.

This medication is typically taken once daily, preferably at the same time each day, with or without food. It is important to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and dosage recommendations carefully to ensure the best results.

Adalat XL should not be used if you have a history of allergic reactions to this medication or other calcium channel blockers. It is also important to inform your healthcare provider of any other medical conditions you may have, as well as any other medications or supplements you are currently taking, to avoid potential interactions.

Common side effects of Adalat XL may include dizziness, headache, flushing, and swelling in the ankles or feet. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately.

It is important to continue taking Adalat XL as prescribed, even if you are feeling well, as high blood pressure and angina often have no symptoms. Do not stop taking this medication without consulting your healthcare provider, as suddenly stopping Adalat XL can lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure or chest pain.

Overall, Adalat XL can be an effective and safe medication for managing high blood pressure and angina when taken as directed and under the supervision of a healthcare provider. If you have any questions or concerns about this medication, do not hesitate to discuss them with your healthcare provider.
