How long should it take for nifedipine to work at lowering high blood pressure?  Also, can nifedipine ever cause high blood pressure itself?

There are many different versions of nifedipine. This means the dosages may vary . There are:

Adalat, afeditab, nifediac, nifedical xl, procardia and procardia xl. Some forms of nifedipine are long-acting, while others are not. All nifedipine tablets are extended-release, while all nifedipine capsules are immediate-release. The dosage varies from each person based on other treatments and your medical condition. 

An overdose of the drug will cause:

  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Swelling or water retention (edema)
  • Low blood pressure (hypotension)
  • Loss of consciousness
  • Irregular heart rhythm (arrhythmia)
  • Fluid in the lungs.

NO high blood pressure.

I am not a doctor please visit yours to consult him.
