Has Adalat Been Discontinued?

Bayer have announced plans to permanently discontinue nifedipine immediate-release 5mg & 10mg capsules (Adalat) in 2019.

Why was Adalat discontinued?

Bayer Inc. said the Adalat XL shortage occurred after it received a warning letter from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last year following a routine inspection at the company's Leverkusen Supply Center in Germany.

Is Adalat now available?

Bayer discontinued its own MR nifedipine products – sold as Adalat Retard – last year, while it expects its three strengths of Adalat LA prolonged-release tablets to be out of stock until 2021.
