Nifedipine 30 mg brand name?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Nifedipine

What brand name is nifedipine 30 mg sold under?

Nifedipine 30 mg is commonly sold under the brand name Adalat CC (a 30 mg controlled-release/extended-release nifedipine product).

Are there other brand names for nifedipine 30 mg?

Brand names can vary by country and by the specific nifedipine formulation (for example, extended-release vs. immediate-release). If you share your country (or a photo/printed label text from the package), I can narrow it down to the most likely brand(s).

What should patients check on the label?

Patients usually need to confirm whether the tablet is extended-release/controlled-release (often written as ER, XR, or “CC”) because that determines dosing timing and how it should be taken. The “30 mg” strength alone does not always indicate the exact release type.

Contradictions


Important Omissions

For patient-facing guidance about controlled-release/extended-release identification and dosing/how to take the product (e.g., ER/XR/“CC” terminology and that designation determines administration), the relevant FDA label sections typically providing dosing/administration or patient counseling details are not cited/used. Only DESCRIPTION is provided.
Importance: High

Safety Assessment

Potential Patient Risk: Moderate
The response includes partially supported patient dosing/administration guidance (based only on DESCRIPTION) and unverified release/brand claims, which could lead to incorrect product identification or administration details if taken as label-accurate.

Recommendation

Major Noncompliance

Primary Issue
Brand/formulation-specific claims for Adalat CC and patient-facing controlled-release dosing guidance were not supported by the provided FDA label section, and dosing/administration handling was not supported with the appropriate label sections.

Suggested Improvement
Restrict claims to what is explicitly supported by the provided label text (e.g., PROCARDIA XL/Nifedipine GITS once-a-day controlled-release tablet and available strengths) and cite the label sections that include administration/controlled-release handling and patient counseling for any instructions about ER/XR/“CC” identification and how to take the medication.
