Adalat Chrono 60 mg is prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). The active ingredient of the medicine is Nifedipine a known calcium channel blocker drug which dilates (relaxes and widens) blood vessels (veins and arteries) making it easier for the heart to pump blood and lower its workload.
Do not take Adalat Chrono 60 mg if you are allergic to it. Before taking this medication, let your doctor know if you are allergic to it or to other drugs, if you have ever had heart disease (congestive heart failure), liver disease, a blockage in your digestive tract (stomach or intestines), a history of stomach surgery, coronary artery disease, or hypothyroidism.

Do not drive or do any such activities which require a great deal of alertness until you are sure that you can do them safely. Limit or avoid alcohol consumption.
Alcoholic beverages must be avoided while taking this medicine as alcohol can further lower blood pressure. Also avoid activities which require a high level of mental awareness and reflexes (such as driving). Do not consume grapefruit or grapefruit-based products as they can interact with Nifedipine and cause potentially dangerous effects.

What is Adalat Chrono 60mg?
Adalat Chrono 60mg contains Nifedipine 60mg in Bayer's controlled-delivery once-daily formulation. It is used for moderate-to-severe hypertension requiring greater calcium channel blockade than 30mg provides, for stable angina needing higher antianginal doses, and for Raynaud's phenomenon requiring intensive peripheral vaSodiumilation. The 60mg dose typically achieves an additional 4–8 mmHg systolic reduction beyond the 30mg dose.
When is Adalat Chrono 60mg prescribed instead of 30mg?
Adalat Chrono 60mg is prescribed when blood pressure or angina remains inadequately controlled on 30mg after four to six weeks of therapy, or when a patient's cardiovascular risk profile requires more intensive calcium channel blockade. The 60mg dose doubles the Nifedipine exposure, providing greater peripheral arterial vaSodiumilation. Maximum dose for hypertension is 90mg once daily under cardiologist guidance.
How should Adalat Chrono 60mg be taken?
Take one Adalat Chrono 60mg tablet once daily in the morning with or without food. Swallow whole — absolutely do not crush, split, or chew. The GITS mechanism requires the tablet to be intact to control drug release over 24 hours. Crushing would cause immediate release of the full 60mg with significant risk of acute hypotension. The tablet shell, which passes through the GI tract intact, is a normal, expected finding in the stool.
Can Adalat Chrono 60mg be combined with beta blockers for angina?
Yes. The combination of Nifedipine GITS and a beta blocker is recommended for stable angina when monotherapy is insufficient. Nifedipine dilates coronary arteries and reduces afterload; the beta blocker reduces heart rate and blunts the reflex tachycardia that Nifedipine might cause. This combination is endorsed by international angina guidelines and is generally well tolerated. Avoid combining Nifedipine with non-dihydropyridine CCBs (Verapamil/Diltiazem).
Is Adalat Chrono 60mg safe in elderly patients?
Elderly patients on 60mg may experience more pronounced ankle oedema and dizziness than younger patients due to reduced vascular tone adaptation. Blood pressure should be monitored more carefully in older patients at the 60mg dose. Orthostatic blood pressure checks are advisable. If ankle oedema is problematic, adding a low-dose diuretic is more appropriate than reducing the Nifedipine dose if blood pressure control requires 60mg.
Does Adalat Chrono 60mg affect kidney function?
Nifedipine dilates both afferent and efferent renal arterioles, having a modest renoprotective effect in some patients with CKD. Unlike ACE inhibitors, Nifedipine does not significantly reduce GFR or raise creatinine. No dose adjustment is needed in CKD. However, ankle oedema (a CCB class effect) may be misinterpreted as fluid retention in CKD — monitor carefully and distinguish from heart failure-related fluid accumulation.
How does Adalat Chrono 60mg compare to generic Nifedipine CR/CD 60mg?
Adalat Chrono 60mg (Bayer) and generic Nifedipine CR/CD 60mg are bioequivalent — both deliver 60mg Nifedipine in controlled-release form over 24 hours. Adalat Chrono carries a brand premium. Generic alternatives provide identical antihypertensive and antianginal effects at lower cost. AllDayChemist offers both options: branded Adalat Chrono 60mg and equivalent generic Nifedipine CR formulations at competitive international prices.
Is Adalat Chrono 60mg worth the premium over generics?
Some patients and physicians prefer the originator brand for high-dose controlled-delivery formulations where the drug release mechanism must be precisely consistent. For others, bioequivalent generics at lower cost are an equally valid choice. AllDayChemist provides Adalat Chrono 60mg at significantly lower prices than Western retail — narrowing the cost gap between the originator and generics while maintaining access to the trusted Bayer product.

What side effects should I expect with Adalat Chrono 60mg?
At 60mg, peripheral oedema (ankle swelling) is the most commonly reported side effect and may be more noticeable than at 30mg due to greater vaSodiumilation. Headache, flushing, and dizziness are possible, particularly in the first one to two weeks. Reflex tachycardia is minimal with the controlled delivery formulation. Gingival hyperplasia can develop with long-term use. The empty tablet shell in stool is an expected, harmless occurrence.
What are the key safety warnings for Adalat Chrono 60mg?
Do not crush or chew the tablet. Avoid grapefruit juice throughout the day — it significantly raises Nifedipine blood levels. Do not combine with strong CYP3A4 inhibitors. Use with extreme caution in severe aortic stenosis. Do not use sublingually. Avoid in patients with GI strictures or adhesions (GITS may obstruct). Inform all healthcare providers about Nifedipine use before any procedure or new prescription. Monitor for excessive hypotension in elderly patients.
