What considerations should be addressed when discontinuing nifedipine therapy to prevent withdrawal effects or exacerbation of underlying conditions?
1. Gradually taper off nifedipine to avoid spike in blood pressure and rebound angina.
2. Monitor the patient closely for signs of hypertension or angina exacerbation after stopping nifedipine.
3. Consult a healthcare provider for an alternative medication plan before discontinuing nifedipine.
