Nicoumalone

Nicoumalone is a combination medication that consists of two active ingredients: nicardipine and nifedipine. It is primarily used to treat hypertension, or high blood pressure. Both nicardipine and nifedipine are calcium channel blockers, which help relax the blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and allowing blood to flow more easily.
Nicoumalone is available in different formulations, such as tablets or capsules, and is typically prescribed for patients who have not responded well to other hypertension medications or those with a specific type of high blood pressure known as resistant hypertension. The medication can be taken once or twice daily, depending on the specific dosage and formulation.
When taking Nicoumalone, it is important to follow your healthcare professional’s instructions carefully. Some common side effects may include headache, dizziness, and swelling of the ankles. However, these side effects are generally mild and tend to subside as the body adjusts to the medication. More severe side effects are rare, but if you experience any symptoms that concern you, it is important to contact your healthcare provider immediately.
