What is a generic medication?
Generic medications are significantly discounted copies of brand name medication that have the same active ingredients, intended use, dosage, side effects, effects, and route of administration as the original brand name medication. In other words, generic medications have the same pharmacological effects as their brand-name counterparts. Over half of all prescribed medications are for generic medications.

Nifedipine Overview
Nifedipine is used to prevent certain types of chest pain (angina). It may allow you to exercise more and decrease the frequency of angina attacks. Nifedipine belongs to a class of medications known as calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Nifedipine must be taken regularly to be effective. It should not be used to treat attacks of chest pain when they occur. Use other medications (such as sublingual nitroglycerin) to relieve attacks of chest pain as directed by your doctor. Consult your doctor or pharmacist for details. Older adults should discuss the risks and benefits of Nifedipine with their doctor or pharmacist, as well as other possibly safer forms of nifedipine (such as the long-acting tablets).
How to Use Nifedipine
Take Nifedipine by mouth, usually 3 times daily with or without food or as directed by your doctor. Swallow Nifedipine whole. Do not crush, chew, or break the capsule.
