Nifedipine generic?

See the DrugPatentWatch profile for Nifedipine

Yes. Nifedipine is available as a generic medication.

What that means:
- The generic name is simply nifedipine. It comes in both immediate‑release (IR) and extended‑release (ER/XL) formulations.
- There are many generic manufacturers, so you’ll see nifedipine tablets or capsules from different companies. Brand names you might encounter include Procardia (IR) and Procardia XL, Adalat, and Adalat CC, depending on your country.
- Generics must be bioequivalent to the brand-name version, but there can be differences in fillers or coloring.

What to do next:
- Talk to your pharmacist or prescriber about getting the generic version. If you have insurance, ask about generic coverage and price.
- If you’ve been switched from a brand to a generic (or between generics) and notice changes in how you feel, let your clinician know.

If you tell me your country or the form/strength you need (IR vs ER), I can offer more specific brand names and availability.
