What is Alkapress

Treating high blood pressure and angina. It may be used alone or with other medicines. It may also be used for other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Alkapress is a calcium channel blocker. It works by widening blood vessels to reduce chest pain and high blood pressure. It also widens arteries in the heart, which increases blood flow to the heart.

Important safety information:

• Alkapress may cause drowsiness or dizziness. These effects may be worse if you take it with alcohol or certain medicines. Use Alkapress with caution. Do not drive or perform other possibly unsafe tasks until you know how you react to it.
• Alkapress may cause dizziness, light-headedness, or fainting; alcohol, hot weather, exercise, or fever may increase these effects. To prevent them, sit up or stand slowly, especially in the morning. Sit or lie down at the first sign of any of these effects.
• Patients who take medicine for high blood pressure often feel tired or run down for a few weeks after starting treatment. Be sure to take your medicine even if you may not feel "normal." Tell your doctor if you develop any new symptoms.
• If you are taking Alkapress for angina, it will not relieve the pain of an acute attack if it is taken at the time of an acute attack. It prevents or reduces the number of angina attacks only if you take it on regular schedule.
• If you have high blood pressure, do not use nonprescription products that contain stimulants. These products may include diet pills or cold medicines. Contact your doctor if you have any questions or concerns.
• While you are using Alkapress, it is important to brush and floss your teeth carefully to reduce swelling and tenderness of your gums.
• Although rare, Alkapress has been known to increase chest pain and increase the risk of a heart attack, especially in patients with severe heart disease.
• Lab tests, including blood pressure checks, may be performed while you use Alkapress. These tests may be used to monitor your condition or check for side effects. Be sure to keep all doctor and lab appointments.
• Use Alkapress with caution in the ELDERLY; they may be more sensitive to its effects.
• Alkapress should be used with extreme caution in CHILDREN younger than 6 years old; safety and effectiveness in these children have not been confirmed.
