Dynacirc Capsules
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved Dynacirc® (isradipine) for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). This prescription drug comes in capsule form and is generally taken twice daily. In clinical studies, common side effects included headache, nausea, and flushing. However, most people are able to take it without any problems.
Prior to beginning treatment with Dynacirc, review the drug's safety info with your healthcare provider. This product can react with other medications, so your healthcare provider needs a complete list of all other medicines you are taking. He or she also needs to know about any other medical conditions you have, such as congestive heart failure.
