Consumer:Consumer information for this minor interaction is not currently available. Some minor drug interactions may not be clinically relevant in all patients. Minor drug interactions do not usually cause harm or require a change in therapy. However, your healthcare provider can determine if adjustments to your medications are needed.
Professional:According to the pioglitazone labeling, coadministration of pioglitazone for 7 days with extended-release nifedipine 30 mg (brand not specified) orally once daily for 4 days to male and female volunteers resulted in slightly decreased bioavailability of nifedipine. The clinical significance of this finding is unknown. However, given the high variability of nifedipine pharmacokinetics, it may be appropriate to monitor patients for potentially diminished therapeutic effects of nifedipine when given with pioglitazone.
