Adalat LA 30mg is a premium pharmaceutical-grade cardiovascular medication (Calcium Channel Blocker) designed for the long-term clinical management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and the prophylaxis of chronic stable angina pectoris. Its active ingredient, Nifedipine, utilizes a sophisticated GITS (Gastrointestinal Therapeutic System) membrane. This technology ensures the medication is released at a constant, controlled rate over a 24-hour period, providing a stable clinical baseline for cardiovascular health in the high-stress Nigerian environment.

Bayer AG — A global leader in pharmaceutical research and cardiovascular innovation, ensuring the highest international standards of purity and drug-delivery technology.
Adalat LA 30mg is primarily indicated for the treatment of essential hypertension. By relaxing the smooth muscles of the peripheral and coronary arteries, it reduces systemic vascular resistance and lowers blood pressure. It is also highly effective in the long-term management of chronic stable angina, as it improves oxygen delivery to the heart muscle while reducing the heart's workload.
The "Do-Not-Crush" Rule: The specialized LA (Long-Acting) membrane must remain intact. Do not crush, chew, or break the tablet, as this destroys the 24-hour release mechanism and can cause a dangerous systemic "dose dump" of Nifedipine.
Grapefruit Warning: Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice. It significantly interferes with the localized metabolism of Nifedipine, potentially leading to dangerously low blood pressure or increased side effects.
Position Changes: Because Adalat LA relaxes blood vessels, you may feel dizzy when standing up quickly. Rise slowly from a sitting or lying position to maintain systemic stability.
Heart Failure: Use with caution if you have severe heart failure or significantly impaired liver function. Always inform your doctor of your full medical history.
Take Adalat LA exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The standard dose is one 30mg tablet once daily, swallowed whole with a glass of water. It is best taken at the same time each morning to ensure a stable 24-hour clinical effect. You can take it with or without food, but avoid high-fat meals immediately before taking the dose as they may affect the absorption rate. Consistency is vital for preventing blood pressure spikes.
Commonly reported effects include peripheral edema (swelling of the ankles or feet), headache, facial flushing, and constipation. Some patients may experience dizziness or a rapid heartbeat (palpitations) during the initial adjustment period. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience significant localized swelling, severe dizziness, or signs of an allergic reaction.
Store below 30°C in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. The GITS membrane is sensitive to extreme heat; in the Nigerian climate, avoid leaving your medication in a hot car or near kitchen appliances. Keep the tablets in their original aluminum blister pack until the moment of use to protect the molecular stability. Keep out of reach of children.
Q: Do I need a prescription to buy Adalat LA 30mg at Sanlive Pharmacy? > A: Yes. Adalat LA is a Prescription-Only Medicine (POM). A valid prescription from a licensed physician is mandatory for purchase to ensure safety and proper monitoring.
Q: Why do I see a "tablet shell" in my stool? > A: This is a normal feature of the Adalat LA GITS design. The medication is absorbed through the membrane, and the empty non-digestible shell passes through the body. This is a sign the technology is working correctly.
Q: Can I use Adalat LA for an acute angina attack? > A: No. Adalat LA is for long-term prevention. Acute chest pain requires immediate-release medications like sublingual Nitroglycerin.
Q: Is Adalat LA the same as Nifedipine Retard? > A: While both contain Nifedipine, the LA (Long-Acting) version uses a different delivery technology (GITS) than Retard or XL versions. Always take the specific formulation prescribed by your doctor.
