Can nifedipin cause constipation?

Postby GP_Joe » 29 Jul 2012, 08:25

I have been taking pain pills for a hurt back along with nifedipin for
an fissure. Is there any way the nifedipin could cause any of the constipation or is all the trouble with the pain pills?

Hello GP Joe,
Most likely the pain pills are the ones causing constipation - it's a well known side effect of some pain medicine. What exactly you're taking?
This said, Diltiazem (a "cousin" of Nifedipine) isn't supposed to cause constipation either, but it caused for me. I switched to Nifedipine and the constipation went away.
