dwynallison replied: "I found a great link for you on long term uses of Captopril (Nifedipine), and I am a nurse, and I have seen patients on this for the rest of their of life, no bad side effects become of it. As far as bone density, you will just need to take a multi-vitamin that has calcium in it just to keep your calcium level up. I hope this article helps and good luck."

rosieC replied: "Nifedipine is generic for Adalat or Procardia or Procardia XL What should I avoid while taking nifedipine? Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit juice during treatment with nifedipine. Nifedipine can interact with grapefruit and grapefruit juice, and the interaction may have dangerous effects. You should discuss the use of grapefruit and grapefruit juice with your doctor. Follow any recommendations your doctor makes about diet or exercise. Use caution when you stand or sit up from a lying position, especially if you wake up during the night. You may become dizzy when changing positions. Use alcohol cautiously. Alcohol may further lower blood pressure and increase drowsiness or dizziness while taking nifedipine. What are the possible side effects of nifedipine? If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking nifedipine and contact your doctor immediately or seek emergency medical treatment: an allergic reaction (difficulty breathing; closing of the throat; swelling of the lips, tongue, or face; or hives); unusually fast or slow heartbeats; severe dizziness or fainting; psychosis; yellowing of the skin or eyes (jaundice); or swelling of the legs or ankles. Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take nifedipine and talk to your doctor if you experience headache, fatigue, or tiredness; flushing; insomnia; vivid or abnormal dreams; nausea or constipation; or increased urination. Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome. What other drugs will affect nifedipine? Before taking nifedipine, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following drugs: another heart medication to treat the same or another condition; cimetidine (Tagamet, Tagamet HB); erythromycin (E-Mycin, E.E.S., Eryc, Ery-Tab, others); itraconazole (Sporanox) or ketoconazole (Nizoral); carbamazepine (Tegretol); phenytoin (Dilantin); or rifampin (Rifadin, Rimactane) or rifabutin (Mycobutin). You may not be able to take nifedipine, or you may require a dosage adjustment or special monitoring if you are taking any of the medicines listed above. Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with nifedipine or affect your condition. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines, including herbal products. Now, here comes the numerous controversies. A lot of articles stated that pts on CCB (calcium channel blockers) such as Nifepidine(Procardia) , Verpamil,(Calan) Diltiazem (Cardizem) shouldn't be taking calcium supplements. Calcium supplements ( may contain lead) may also decrease the efficacy of calcium channel . However, other studies suggested that Inadequate calcium intake may contribute to accelerated bone loss and density. .There is an ongoing debate whether these calcium channel blockers increase the risks of heart attacks.; as these meds block the transport of calcium across the muscle cell membrane. Calcium. Calcium regulates the tone of the smooth muscles lining blood vessels, and population studies have found that people who have sufficient dietary calcium have lower blood pressure than those who do not. Hypertension itself increases calcium loss from the body. The effects of extra calcium on blood pressure, however, are mixed with some even showing higher pressure. Effects of Anti-Hypertensive Drugs on Exercise. Certain anti-hypertensive medications, including diuretics and beta-blockers, can interfere with exercise capacity. ACE inhibitors or calcium-channel blockers are the best drugs for active individuals. However, patients who must take drugs that interfere somewhat with exercise capability should still adhere to an exercise program and consult a physician on how best to balance medications with exercise. Dash Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) is rcommended for Hypertensive pts. It's low salt to avoid more potassium loss. It's rich in fruits and vegetables. and nutrients and calcium obtained from foods naturally. They also contain other nutirents such as potassium and magnesium which help in the absorption of Ca.

Nifedipine For Preterm Labor - Talking to my doc about the risks? Here are some things I read: Why it is used- Labor needs to be delayed for 24 to 48 hours. This is typically necessary with corticosteroid treatment to help fetal lungs mature. Sometimes labor is delayed so the mother can be moved to a hospital with special facilities for treating premature infants. (I have been on it for a month and a half) Side effects- Low blood pressure and a possible decrease in the blood supply to the fetus. Nifedipine has fewer severe side effects than ritodrine, but its potential for fetal harm has not been fully researched. Not all experts agree on the relative safety of using calcium channel blockers like nifedipine for the routine treatment of women in preterm labor. This stuff has me worried. I am 32 weeks and the baby goes head down with contractions (I still have them) so I am wondering about the risks to the baby compared to how safe she would be if born now and trust me I know the longer she stays in there the better. Continued... I know I should consult my doctor but I want to go in well informed. I'm afraid that since they make think it is best that they won't take my feelings into consideration if you know what I mean. I have looked up a lot of websites but they don't seem to help much. It just scares me that since they haven't done a lot of research that this might be one of those meds that turn up on TV that people end up sueing over later becuase it hurt their child. I'm having a lot of conflicting emotions... can someone please help?

Delena N replied: "We did everything to keep my little one fromarriving early, and all was fine. your doctor is trained to weigh the risk between the benefit and the possible negatives, so bear that in mind. if you are really anti-intervention, then ask if you can try everything else first, but remeber...better toi intevene and NOT have a preemie than to let it go and deal with THOSE complications....best of luck...try to find less biased info on both sides. born now is WAY WAY worse than the rarest possibility. the criteria for stuff they can use on you is really stringent, so try to breathe and trust the doc, or get a second opinion from another doctor...."

Is it common to have vomiting later in pregnancy? I had horrible morning sickness early on in my pregnancy until I was 15 weeks along. After that I felt great until I went into preterm labor at 30 weeks. They put me on this anti-contraction medicine (Nifedipine) and really haven't had many side effects (some dizziness and headaches...but they've mostly gone away.) This last week I've been throwing up everything in the mornings. I feel horrible, but later in the day I feel ok. I thought it was the medicine but I don't understand why it would just start causing naseau now, almost 4 weeks after starting it. Could this just be a symptom in later pregnancy? At 30 weeks I was dialated 1 cm and 50% effaced...could it be that labor is coming on soon? I'm going to see my doctor on Wednesday, but I want to know if I should be making a big deal out of this or not.

It's Me replied: "Yes, it is normal to develop nausea again later in the pregnancy. Every woman's body handles it differently. Try not to worry about it."

Danelle replied: "Yes, unfortuantly! I dont know why they call it morning sickness.. hell it can last all day, it can last all pregnancy and it comes and goes.. they should call it pregnancy sickness... LOL I am 36 weeks and recently myself started to experince PREGNANCY SICKNESS again.. but only in the morning... so I try to eat light in the morning, and have a last lunch, but make sure to drink alot of water.. good luck, hope this helps"

dreamcatcher99 replied: "I had two preemies I would call and check with my doctor if I were you, vomiting can change your cervix, or be a sign of worse complications."

brans59 replied: "my mom had morning sicks right up till she gave birth. for myself I stared to have gallbladder problems. Which causes you to get sick and terrible pain in your ribs. It sounds to me that the baby is pushing on your stomach just that right way. I would try eating very small meals but more frequent."

STACEY B replied: "I had a similar situation with the morning sickness but I went all the way up to 21 weeks. I also had pre-term labor around 27 weeks. Later towards the end of pregnancy I began getting sick at my stomach mostly around the same time of day that I had experienced it the 1st trimester. However, I vomited occasionally not as much as it sounds like you are. My doctor told me that this was normal and the changes in hormones caused the sickness. I don't think that it is labor. Eventhough vomiting is a sign of early labor, you would only have it at the start of labor or continously throughout labor. You wouldn't have it the same time of day on different days. I am sure your doctor will help you understand more about the hormone changes. I am not sure about the medication that you are on. I was on Breathine. Vomiting wasn't a side effect of my med."

20years old girl had taken 130 tablets of Nifedipine 20mg nearly 5months ago.Will it affect 4 pregnancy? She has no side effect now but afraid about pregnancy. Plz need a specialist advice

Vanessa's Mommy replied: "every person is different so people are perfectly healthy with no drug abuse and have babies with defects, and some abuse drugs their whole pregnancy and have perfectly healthy babies.......Pray for the best and stay healthy and clean during pregnancy.."

Procardia (nifedipine) use during pregnancy to stop pre-term labor? I was just prescribed Procardia for pre-term labor after not being able to tolerate the side-effects of oral Terbutaline. I am nearly 30 weeks and am going to be put on a home monitor for my contractions. I understand the indications and possible side effects of the medication, so I don't need that explained to me. However here is my question... If you have taken Procardia for pre-term labor when did you stop the medication? How long after stopping it did you go into labor? I asked the nurse who explained the monitoring procedure to me if the medication would prevent me from going into labor when I am suppose to. She told me that I would most likely be stopping the medication at 36 weeks and that most women go into labor within days of stopping the medication. I'm not finding anything online to support this so I would like to hear from anyone that has experience with this. I just want to know what to expect. I am also taking 40mg of Lovenox SQ daily for Thrombophelia.

Jill replied: "I am a labor and delivery nurse. We prescribe procardia to many many women with PTL. The effectiveness at stopping PTL is highly variable, and after stopping, it's also very variable on when labor will begin. Many of the women at my hospital stop around 34 weeks instead of 36, and some of them end up going overdue! Some go into labor the same day, for others it's days or weeks. There's no real way to predict what will happen until you actually go off the medication. Good luck!"

Jennifer P replied: "I was on Procardia from 25 weeks to 37 weeks and delivered 2 days later.... I was dialated to 4 cm at 25 weeks.. I was also on very strict bedrest...."

I have a question about a perscription my OB/Gyn wrote me.? My doc wrote me a perscription for procardia Cap 10 MG, because I was having some contractions. I'm 33 wks pregnant. He said it would completely stop any contractions I were having. However when I got the perscription filled it only said that it was used for chest pains. I was a bit bothered by that since I don't have any chest pains and I was wondering if any of you have had this prescribed to you for stopping contrations. I didn't particularly like the side effects either. I got the generic brand: Nifedipine Cap 10MG

danny20_2002us replied: "if he wrote it for you then you should take it"

jessyl135 replied: "talk to your doctor about any questions or concerns"

Katie replied: "you should ask the pharmacist exactly what the medicine is used for. Sometimes doctors make mistakes so it's always a good idea to double check with the phrmacist. They usually know more about all that medicine and stuff anyways. That's what they went to school for. If it's the wrong kind of medicine the pharamicist will just call you doctor. good luck"

crystald replied: "call your doctor and ask the pharmasist as well, sounds like you might have gotten the perscription filled wrong, !!!!"

Cobalt replied: "Nifedipine is used to treat high blood pressure. It relaxes your blood vessels so your heart does not have to pump as hard. It is also used for migraines and some other conditions. Since contractions have to do with muscles and blood flow, this should relax them and stop them, especially if you, like many 3rd trimester women, have slightly elevated blood pressure. You really should ask your doctor about medication problems and side-effects, though, not just random people on the internet."

txharleygirl1 replied: "Take it. It works. I was in the hospital with rather large doses of it in an IV. You are lucky your doc let you go home with pills. If you don't take it, you might go into full pre term labor that they can't stop. A child born 7 weeks early should be okay, but there is always a chance of complications."

Jay replied: "You can also verify the prescription with the doctor and the pharmacists. The prescription was definitely given to assist you you in prolonging your pregnancy. Full term is usually around 40 weeks,, two weeks before or after are acceptable birth periods any thing before 38 weeks is considered premature"

Sweetness replied: "talk to your doctor about your concerns and/or research the medicine on the net."

shellylori replied: "Ask the pharmacist if it is also used to stop contractions as well. Many drugs were intended for one purpose and used for another. I took birth control pills to get pregnant with my first daughter. Are you actually suffering from side effects or just worried about the possible side effects listed on the paperwork? If you aren't actually experiencing side effects, stop worrying unnecessarily and give it a try. If you are suffering from side effects, stop taking it and go in to see your OB as soon as possible."

Diet_smartie replied: "This is fine. It's the right prescription . it is generally used for pre term labour also."

estkijedsco replied: "i would call the pharmasist but chances are your dr knows what hes doing and if it will benefit you and your baby i would take it. Dont be afraid to call your dr to address any concerns."

crystal b replied: "if you are not comfortable dont take it theres a reason"

Cara M replied: "I checked it on WebMD.com and it didn't say anything about pregnancy and contractions. But if it stops chest pains (contractions, essentially) then it makes sense that it could be used for the same thing. It regulates blood pressure and that could be what's causing your contractions. Even saying that, you should probably just call your Dr. and see what he or his nurse says about it. double check before you take it just in case he wrote down the wrong thing. you don't want to hurt your baby!"

Joy replied: "hello, i took procardia ( I actually took the generic ) It helped some. I did not read the side effects. I am one of those people that read side effects and then subconciously have every one of them... I took it in Dec of 2002 I had my baby 3 weeks later. Well, January 1 2003... The thing that I had to watch is it made my blood pressure kind of low... It was normally 110/60 and it dropped to 100/55. Procardia is safe, or it would not have been prescribed to you.. The doc that prescribed it to me was a maternal fetal medicine specialist."

tillah519 replied: "Nifedipine is in a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. Nifedipine relaxes (widens) your blood vessels (veins and arteries), which makes it easier for the heart to pump and reduces its workload. Nifedipine is used to lower hypertension (high blood pressure) and to treat angina (chest pain). Nifedipine may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide."

sandrarosette replied: "I once took my little girl to the ER and the Dr wrote one drug name for one thing, but when I got it filled it was another drug for another thing. I asked the pharmacist about it and they simply misread the writing. Call the pharmacy to see if that Drug is also used for stopping contractions. I was prescribed a cough syrup a pretty potent one, once and on the label it said take for pain, I called the pharmacy and he said that kind is also used for pain mostly, but since the dr didn't write on the slip what it was for, the pharmacist but the usual directions on it. That could have been the case with you too."

~BaByGiRl~ replied: "The effects of Procardia and Procardia XL during pregnancy have not been adequately studied, although new animal research points to possible birth defects in humans. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, inform your doctor immediately. It is not known whether Procardia or Procardia XL appears in breast milk and can affect a nursing infant. If this medication is essential to your health, your doctor may advise you to discontinue breastfeeding until your treatment is finished. PREGNANCY: Generally, nifedipine is avoided during pregnancy i wouldnt take it.. its for people with heart problem and people who have experienced heart attack.. your having a baby.. 2 differeng things here.. it could be braxton hicks contractions.. they are not real contractions just your body preparing.. be safe for you and your baby.. the links to the sites will give you the information you need.. .."

Experiences with Terbutaline? I went into preterm labor at 33 weeks, 2 weeks ago. I was dilated to 2 and 75% effaced. I was first put on Nifedipine, but I broke out in a nasty rash after a week, so I was told to stop taking it. Within 24 hours I was having painless contractions, but they were frequent, so I went yesterday to the doctor and am now dilated to 3. I've been put on Tributaline, 1 pill every 4 hours. The only side effect to me so far is that I'm really jittery, which I was told by my doctor could happen. I have to stay on it until this Saturday, when I reach 36 weeks gestation. I've read about this drug, and know it's really for asthma, and there is some controversary over it. I was just wondering what your experiences are/were with it. How far along did you reach? How long after stopping it did you go into labor? How was your baby, and side effects? Thank you.

mean mama so my kids say replied: "my daughter was put on it at 34 weeks but was allowed to come off of it at 36 weeks and went on to deliver on her due date my other daughter was given an injection of it at 32 weeks and delivered at 35 weeks."

janey805 replied: "i was in the hosp for three days trying to stop my contractions i was 34 weeks i was put on tri and i felt so drugged up For some reason but my Dr said all was normal the pain went away but still had contractions so i was put on magnesium sulfate and that totally helped but after the baby was born she was real health and still is and i made it to full term well actually past my due date but see Ur dilated already i wasn't so u might just came it for another week or so good luck and all my blessing to u !!"

hello there.... replied: "I got put on it when I was 32 weeks and I got sick to my stomach on it and it did not stop my contractions. I was doing a NST (non-stress test) at my ultrasound doctor's office and when they saw all the contractions I was having they gave me a shot of it and I was very jittery after that. It didn't really work for me I did make it to 35 weeks and my doctor said I could stop taking it but the contractions I was having were not dialating me. I ended up having to have an emergency c-section at 36 weeks because I got very sick (I was leaking water for a week & got an infection from it) I had been having contractions for about 2 months but luckily they were not dialating me. I was listed high risk for most of my pregnancy."

Tributaine questions? I went into preterm labor at 33 weeks, 2 weeks ago. I was dilated to 2 and 75% effaced. I was first put on Nifedipine, but I broke out in a nasty rash after a week, so I was told to stop taking it.

gumby replied: "I hated that stuff. I went into labor at almost 32 weeks and was kept on terbuteline until I hit 37 weeks. It was horrible, I was so shaky, I couldn't hardly stand up without falling over. I still had contractions, they just weren't as strong. After I went off the pills at 37 weeks, the contractions came back, but they still didn't do much to my cervix. At 38 weeks on the day, they got really severe but I refused to go because I had been having contractions for so long, I didn't want to go to the hospital and be sent home. My hubby tricked me to getting into the car and he drove me to the hospital. I was almost at an 8 by the time we got there. Anyway, it was yucky stuff, but it seemed to do its job. My son had other complications so we needed to keep him in there as long as possible. Make sure you ask for the steroid shot in case your baby's lungs aren't quite ready. I guess I should have read all of your question. My boy is almost 2 now and he's fine. He had some health issues and still does but those are not related to the terbutaline. One of his issues was that his digestive tract didn't devlop properly in utero. That's actually what caused the preterm labor. His other stuff has been things like having ear tubes put in and adenoids/tonsils taken out. Even with those issues, I can't keep up with him. He's 20 times busier than either of my girls ever were."

Rol replied: "I never had this problem, When I was due, the baby just popped out so fast nobody had time to stop and think. I was in labor starting from the time I left home and it took about ten minutes to get to the hospital..I was rushed to the delivery and got prepped and the baby came.... I Had two girls and they were both delivered fast, with no problem... I`m wishing you lots of luck my dear....."

Senator John McClain replied: "My wife went into preterm labor at 23 weeks. She was put on bed rest and was given tributaline (is that the same???) pills she could take if she had more than 4-5 contractions an hour. She only took it a few times and it would make her very shaky. She didn't like it too much. And our OB said you can develop tolerance for is so you may continue to need more and more to ease the contractions. When she did take it, it did usually stop the contractions. And she was able to go full term, after 3 months of bed rest."

constipation during pregnancy? I'm 31 weeks pregnant, and right now I'm on a medication called nifedipine for early contractions. I know one of the side effects is constipation, and when it became a problem I talked with my doctor about it. She said that I could take dulcolax. So, I've been taking that for a week, but still nothing is happening. I'm starting to feel sick all the time, and it is getting painful. What else can I do? I'm on bed rest....so it's not like I can get a lot of exercise, and I'm already drinking water like a fish... if you don't want to hear about pregnancy issues, get off the pregnancy board. actually, I've been happily married for 5 years.

Oh Crap replied: "You may want to ask your doctor about an enema...as unpleasant as it sounds, you need some relief. Forget about the first poster - he is being an a$$hole to every question he answers. He will be deleted in no time."

Laura B replied: "Your doctor can recommend something stronger. Call tomorrow and tell them the Dulcolax isn't doing it for you. There's a number of options, but your doctor is going to have a favorite, and since you've had pre-term contractions, I'd ask for information from them."

Itsatushy replied: "Honey you may want to try a suppository... it is hard when prego but it may help... I would ask you doc if there is anything else. You have go to go, it is not good not too. Best of luck to you honey."

Kakk replied: "Oh man...I had the same problem - it was awful. Take stool softeners - you can buy them over the counter. The generic brand is fine. This helps some. You probably have some blockage, so you will need to take a glycerin suppository - also bought in the drug store, or even Wal-Mart. Very cheap to buy also. Drink some prune juice - if you mix it with ginger ale, or 7-Up, it is much more tolerable. Keep drinking your water, and add some more fibre to your diet. Hope this helps, and the best of luck with the baby!"

tigergirl replied: "I would go back to the doctor - you may need something stronger to help you. You could also try a suppository. You really need to make sure that you are drinking alot of water, sometimes you may thinkyou are drinking enough but with dulcolax and such stuff if you dont drink enough it can make your constipation worse. Eat fruit like there is no tomorrow and also try prune juice. Not nice i know but as a sufferer of hemorrhoids during pregnancy i can assure you this would be the last thing that you want to get.. Good luck"

S.W. replied: "I'm sorry - that is such an unpleasant feeling! I'm sure you've already been doing it - but heavy on the juices, prunes, take a couple extra stool softeners, and maybe try some real spice (as in chili peppers). Also (and you probably want to ask your doctor about this) a last resort would be gel suppositories. They are sure to get things moving. Good luck!"

ksm882000 replied: "Hi - Wow.....what a piece of work that previous poster is! Anyway, keep up the water.....I would suggest exercise but with bed rest???? I would take a stool softener to make things easier and load up on fruits, bran cereal, prunes or prune juice etc. GOOD LUCK!"

dan replied: "the medication prescribed is not working for you go back to your gp asap and let him know, you should not have to suffer like this you can even go to your local pharmacist where they can give you a laxative that is safe to take while pregnant if it doesn't work after the 1st or 2nd day you'll find it won't (talking about dulcolax)"
