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.

Procardia Overview
Procardia 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. Procardia 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 Procardia with their doctor or pharmacist, as well as other possibly safer forms of nifedipine (such as the long-acting tablets).
How to Use Procardia
Take Procardia by mouth, usually 3 times daily with or without food or as directed by your doctor. Swallow Procardia whole. Do not crush, chew, or break the capsule. The Dosage of Procardia is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Your doctor may gradually increase your dose. Follow your doctor's instructions carefully. Avoid eating grapefruit or drinking grapefruit juice while taking Procardia unless your doctor instructs you otherwise. Grapefruit can increase the amount of certain medications in your bloodstream.
