The most common side effect is swelling of the ankles and lower legs. If patients experience this adverse reaction, it is recommended that we stop taking Nifedipine and switch to other medications for antihypertensive treatment, such as Metoprolol. Some people may experience gastrointestinal reactions such as abdominal distension and nausea after taking the drug, which are usually not serious and can recover on their own after stopping the drug. Patients with hypertension are advised to monitor their blood pressure levels regularly to adjust their antihypertensive regimen according to their blood pressure control. Because of the incurable nature of hypertension, long-term medication is required and should never be discontinued to avoid complications such as cerebral hemorrhage due to poor blood pressure control.
