Angifine 20 mg Tablet SR

Angifine 20 mg Tablet SR is a prescription extended-release tablet that contains 20 mg of nifedipine in each tablet. It belongs to the calcium channel blocker class and is used to help manage high blood pressure and certain types of chest pain (angina). By lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart’s workload, Angifine 20 mg Tablet SR can help decrease strain on the heart and blood vessels. This product is a sustained-release tablet, so it is designed to release nifedipine gradually over time rather than all at once.

How it works: Nifedipine relaxes and widens blood vessels, which helps blood flow more easily and lowers blood pressure. In the tablet SR form, the medication is released gradually so the effect is more even throughout the dosing interval.

Angifine 20 mg Tablet SR is a higher-strength sustained-release nifedipine tablet, so it is generally used only when a clinician has decided that this dose is appropriate. Compared with immediate-release nifedipine or lower-dose options, the SR tablet is intended to give a steadier effect and is not meant for rapid symptom relief. A doctor may choose Angifine 20 mg Tablet SR when a once- or twice-daily controlled release profile is needed for blood pressure or angina control.

• High blood pressure
• Chronic angina
• Vasospastic angina
• Blood pressure control over time

• Swallow Angifine 20 mg Tablet SR whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew it.
• Take it at the same time each day to keep levels steady.
• You may take it with or without food unless your prescriber tells you otherwise.
• Avoid grapefruit or grapefruit juice unless your clinician says it is okay, because it can raise nifedipine levels.
• Stand up slowly after taking it, especially when starting therapy or after a dose increase, because dizziness can occur.
• Do not use this tablet for sudden chest pain unless your doctor specifically instructed you to do so.

Each Angifine 20 mg Tablet SR provides 20 mg of nifedipine in a sustained-release tablet. How often it is taken depends on the condition being treated and how you respond; your doctor may prescribe it once daily or in a divided schedule based on your medical needs and the product instructions. Do not take more than your prescribed amount, and the maximum daily dose is set by the prescriber.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
