Nifediac Drug Interactions

When medicines such as beta blockers or digoxin are taken with Nifediac CC, drug interactions can potentially occur. Some of these interactions may increase or decrease the drug levels in your blood. As a result, you may experience unwanted side effects (such as low blood pressure, bleeding, and congestive heart failure) or the medication may not be as effective. To avoid these problems, be sure to talk to your healthcare provider about any drug interactions that may apply to you.
