Question: is adalat the same as nifedipine?
Answer: Nifedipine is also called by various brand names, for example Adalat, Adipine, Coracten, Fortipine, Nifedipress, Tensipine and Valni. If the brand name has other letters after it (XL, LA, SR, MR, or Retard), it means that the nifedipine is released slowly and evenly throughout the day.
