Also known as nifedipine. Has anyone taken this medication? I just started for irritable uterus at 26 weeks. I had IU with my last but Never prescribed medication. Wondering how long the drowsiness lasts and since they only gave me 2 months worth, is it common to go into labor soon after the medication stops?
Re: Nifedical for irritable uterus
My OB wanted to hold off keeping me on the Nifedipine continuously if possible because it makes me incredibly nauseous (but not at all tired) and I'm currently 31w, 5'8" and only around 128lbs.
One more episode and I'll have to go on it though....which I am dreading. I guess it's better than spending 5-7 hours in the hospital trying to get contractions under control every 2 days :-S
Wishing you the best!
