Composition of Depin Retard Tablet

Depin Retard Tablet contains Nifedipine (20mg). It belongs to the Calcium channel blocker class of medicines.

Uses of Depin Retard Tablet

Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Benefits of Depin Retard Tablet

In High blood pressure
Depin Retard relaxes the muscle in the walls of your arteries so blood flows with less pressure. Keeping blood pressure down protects you from stroke, heart attack and kidney damage over the years.
In Angina
Depin Retard widens the vessels that supply the heart and eases its workload, so you get fewer episodes of chest pain and can do more before pain comes on.

How Depin Retard Tablet works

Depin Retard Tablet PR is a calcium channel blocker. In high blood pressure, it normalizes the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels to reduce the pressure on them, thereby improving the blood flow in the body. The enhanced blood flow in the body further relaxes the heart muscles by reducing the workload on the heart. It also improves the oxygen flow to the heart, thereby preventing any heart-related chest pain.

How to take Depin Retard Tablet

Use it as advised by your doctor or check the label for directions before use. Depin Retard Tablet PR is to be taken on an empty stomach.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Depin Retard Tablet PR, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause a severe fall in blood pressure and a dangerously slow or irregular heartbeat. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

  • Flushing

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
