I took Nifedipine after I had a hypertensive reaction but my doc never prescribes it anymore. I think they just want you to go to the ER if you have a hypertensive reaction. Most peopl are not prepared to know what to do for this reaction since unless you have a BP cuff the only sign you might be having a reaction is a severe headache.
I had enough training and experience to feel I could handle something like this but your average person would not be able to know what to do so taking Nifedipine is proably not a good thing to give a patient unless they're in the medical field.
