Indication:
SULAR is indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.

Important Safety Information:
The most common adverse events, reported in US placebo-controlled trials, were peripheral edema, headache, and dizziness. In rare cases, some patients, particularly those with severe obstructive coronary artery disease, have developed increased frequency, duration, and/or severity of angina, or acute myocardial infarction on starting calcium channel blocker therapy or at the time of dosage increase. Safety of SULAR in patients with heart failure has not been established. SULAR should be administered cautiously in patients over the age of 65 and in those with severe hepatic dysfunction. Because nisoldipine, like other vasodilators, decreases peripheral vascular resistance, careful monitoring of blood pressure during the initial administration and titration of SULAR is recommended. SULAR should not be taken with grapefruit products.
