(For additional information see "Nicardipine: Drug information")

Acute aortic syndromes/acute aortic dissection

Acute aortic syndromes/acute aortic dissection (adjunctive agent) (off-label use):

Note: Manage patients on an emergency basis (including operative assessment) by first controlling pain with IV opioids and heart rate (target 60 to 80 beats per minute) with a parenteral beta blocker (eg, esmolol) while targeting systolic BP of ≤120 mm Hg (or lowest tolerated pressure without compromising perfusion). If systolic BP remains elevated after heart rate is controlled at 60 to 80 beats per minute with beta-blockade, may consider adding a vasodilator (eg, nicardipine) (Ref).

Continuous IV infusion: Initial: 5 mg/hour; titrate by 2.5 mg/hour at 5- to 15-minute intervals to achieve target blood pressure; maximum dose: 15 mg/hour. Invasive blood pressure monitoring, preferably via arterial line, in a critical care unit is recommended for appropriate dose titration (Ref).

Acute ischemic stroke, BP management with reperfusion therapy

Acute ischemic stroke, BP management with reperfusion therapy (off-label use):

Note: Prior to reperfusion therapy (thrombolytic and/or mechanical thrombectomy), maintain a target BP of ≤185/110 mm Hg. If BP remains >185/110 mm Hg, do not administer thrombolytic. During and 24 hours after start of thrombolytic therapy, maintain a target BP of ≤180/105 mm Hg; if hypertension is refractory or diastolic BP >140 mm Hg, consider alternative therapy (Ref).

Continuous IV infusion: Initial: 5 mg/hour; titrate by 2.5 mg/hour at 5- to 15-minute intervals (maximum dose: 15 mg/hour) (Ref).

Angina

Angina: Oral: 20 mg 3 times daily; usual dosage: 20 to 40 mg 3 times daily (allow ≥3 days between dose increases).

Hypertension

Hypertension: Oral: Initial: 20 mg 3 times daily; usual dosage: 20 to 40 mg 3 times daily (allow ≥3 days between dose increases).

Hypertensive emergency

Hypertensive emergency:

Note : In general, reduce mean arterial blood pressure gradually by ~10% to 20% over the first hour, then by an additional 5% to 15% over the next 23 hours, unless there is a compelling indication (eg, acute aortic dissection, severe preeclampsia, eclampsia) for more rapid blood pressure and heart rate control. Invasive blood pressure monitoring is recommended for appropriate dose titration (Ref).

Continuous IV infusion: Initial: 5 mg/hour; titrate by 2.5 mg/hour at 5- to 15-minute intervals to achieve target blood pressure; maximum dose: 15 mg/hour (Ref).

Hypertensive emergency in pregnancy or postpartum

Hypertensive emergency in pregnancy or postpartum (including acute-onset severe hypertension in preeclampsia/eclampsia) (off-label use) (alternative agent):

Note: For acute-onset, severe, persistent hypertension (eg, systolic BP ≥160 mm Hg or diastolic BP ≥110 mm Hg) (Ref). Nicardipine may be considered in patients with persistently high BP despite administration of first-line agents (eg, labetalol, hydralazine, nifedipine) (Ref).

Continuous IV infusion: Initial: 5 mg/hour; titrate by 0.5 to 1 mg/hour at 15-minute intervals to achieve target BP; maximum dose: 15 mg/hour (Ref).

Intracerebral hemorrhage, acute, blood pressure management

Intracerebral hemorrhage, acute, blood pressure management (off-label use):

Note: For use in patients with mild to moderate intracerebral hemorrhage with a presenting systolic BP ≥150 mm Hg; acute lowering to <130 mm Hg is potentially harmful (Ref).

Continuous IV infusion: Initial: 5 mg/hour; titrate by 2.5 mg/hour at 5- to 15-minute intervals to target systolic BP (maximum dose: 15 mg/hour) (Ref).

Subarachnoid hemorrhage, blood pressure management

Subarachnoid hemorrhage, blood pressure management (off-label use):

Note: Optimal therapy is not well established. Cautious use of antihypertensive therapy to decrease the risk of rebleeding may be appropriate in some patients with systolic BP >160 mm Hg or mean arterial pressure >110 mm Hg with adequate cerebral perfusion pressure (Ref).

Continuous IV infusion: Initiate 5 mg/hour; titrate by 2.5 mg/hour at 5- to 15-minute intervals to goal target systolic BP or mean arterial pressure (maximum dose: 15 mg/hour) (Ref).

Substitution for oral therapy (approximate equivalents):

20 mg every 8 hours oral, equivalent to 0.5 mg/hour IV infusion.

30 mg every 8 hours oral, equivalent to 1.2 mg/hour IV infusion.

40 mg every 8 hours oral, equivalent to 2.2 mg/hour IV infusion.

Conversion to oral antihypertensive agent: Initiate oral antihypertensive at the same time that IV nicardipine is discontinued; if transitioning to oral nicardipine, start oral nicardipine 1 hour prior to IV discontinuation.

Dosage adjustment for concomitant therapy: Significant drug interactions exist, requiring dose/frequency adjustment or avoidance. Consult drug interactions database for more information.

Dosing: Kidney Impairment: Adult

Oral: Initial: 20 mg 3 times daily; titrate slowly.

IV: There are no specific dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; titrate slowly with careful monitoring; dosage adjustment may be necessary.

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Adult

Oral: Initial: 20 mg twice daily; titrate slowly.

IV: There are no specific dosage adjustments provided in the manufacturer's labeling; titrate slowly with monitoring; dosage adjustment may be necessary.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to nicardipine or any component of the formulation; advanced aortic stenosis

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Angina/MI: Increased angina (frequency, duration, or severity) and/or MI has occurred. Reflex tachycardia may occur resulting in angina and/or MI in patients with obstructive coronary disease, especially in the absence of concurrent beta blockade.

• Hypotension/syncope: Symptomatic hypotension with or without syncope may rarely occur; blood pressure must be lowered at a rate appropriate for the patient's clinical condition. Avoid systemic hypotension in acute cerebral infarction or hemorrhage. Close monitoring of heart rate and blood pressure, especially during initial therapy and dosage titration, is required.

• Peripheral edema: A common side effect is peripheral edema (dose-dependent); occurs within 2 to 3 weeks of starting therapy.

• Tachycardia: May occur; close monitoring of heart rate is required.

Disease-related concerns:

• Aortic stenosis: Use with caution in patients with mild to moderate aortic stenosis; may reduce coronary perfusion resulting in ischemia. Use is contraindicated in patients with advanced aortic stenosis.

• Heart failure: Use in patients with heart failure (HF) or severe left ventricular dysfunction, particularly with concomitant beta-blockade, may experience worsened symptoms of HF due to mild negative inotropic effects of nicardipine. The ACC/AHA heart failure guidelines recommend to avoid use in patients with heart failure due to lack of benefit and/or worse outcomes with calcium channel blockers in general (FDA 2015).

• Hepatic impairment: Use with caution in patients with hepatic impairment or reduced hepatic blood flow. Consider lower starting dose and closely monitor response.

• Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with left ventricular outflow tract obstruction: Use with caution in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction since reduction in afterload may worsen symptoms associated with this condition (AHA/ACC [Ommen 2020]).

• Kidney impairment: Use with caution in patients with kidney impairment. Increase dose cautiously in patients with kidney impairment since clearance of nicardipine is diminished in this population.

Dosage form specific issues:

• Propylene glycol: Some dosage forms may contain propylene glycol; large amounts are potentially toxic and have been associated hyperosmolality, lactic acidosis, seizures and respiratory depression; use caution (AAP 1997; Zar 2007).

Other warnings/precautions:

• Infusion sites: To minimize infusion site reactions, peripheral infusion sites (for IV therapy) should be changed every 12 hours; use of arteries or small peripheral veins should be avoided.

• Withdrawal: Abrupt withdrawal may cause rebound angina in patients with CAD.

Reproductive Considerations

Medications considered acceptable for the treatment of chronic hypertension during pregnancy may generally be continued in patients trying to conceive. Nicardipine is not considered a preferred agent for use in pregnant patients; consider transitioning to a preferred agent in patients planning to become pregnant (ACC/AHA [Whelton 2018]; ACOG 2019; NICE 2019).

Pregnancy Considerations

Nicardipine has limited placental transfer following maternal oral and IV administration (Bartels 2007; Carbonne 1993; Matsumura 2014).

Nicardipine has been shown to decrease maternal blood pressure without significant changes on placental perfusion or fetal hemodynamics (Cornette 2016). Although effective for the treatment of hypertension in pregnancy, nicardipine may have an increased risk of adverse maternal events (eg, headache, nausea, tachycardia) in comparison to other agents (Nooij 2014). Cases of acute pulmonary edema have been reported following use as a tocolytic (Melis 2015).

Chronic maternal hypertension is also associated with adverse events in the fetus/infant. Chronic maternal hypertension may increase the risk of birth defects, low birth weight, premature delivery, stillbirth, and neonatal death. Actual fetal/neonatal risks may be related to the duration and severity of maternal hypertension. Untreated chronic hypertension may also increase the risks of adverse maternal outcomes, including gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, delivery complications, stroke, and myocardial infarction (ACOG 2019).

Patients with preexisting hypertension may continue their medication during pregnancy unless contraindications exist (ESC [Regitz-Zagrosek 2018]). When treatment of chronic hypertension during pregnancy is initiated during pregnancy, agents other than nicardipine may be preferred (ACOG 2019; ESC [Cífková 2020]; ESC [Regitz-Zagrosek 2018], SOGC [Magee 2022]). Nicardipine may be used as an alternative agent for the treatment of acute-onset, severe hypertension in patients who are pregnant (ACOG 2019; ESC [Cífková 2020]).

Monitoring Parameters

Blood pressure (continuously for IV infusion), heart rate, liver and kidney function, infusion site for extravasation.

Mechanism of Action

Inhibits calcium ion from entering the “slow channels” or select voltage-sensitive areas of vascular smooth muscle and myocardium during depolarization, producing a relaxation of coronary vascular smooth muscle and coronary vasodilation; increases myocardial oxygen delivery in patients with vasospastic angina

Pharmacokinetics (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Onset of action: IV: Within minutes (constant infusion); Oral: 0.5 to 2 hours.

Peak effect: Oral: 1 to 2 hours; IV continuous infusion: 50% of the maximum effect is seen by 45 minutes.

Duration:

IV: ≤8 hours; upon discontinuation of continuous infusion, a 50% decrease in effect is seen in ~30 minutes with gradual discontinuing antihypertensive effects for ~50 hours.

Oral: ≤8 hours.

Absorption: Oral: ~100%, but large first-pass effect.

Distribution: Vd: 8.3 L/kg.

Protein binding: >95%.

Metabolism: Hepatic; extensive first-pass effect (saturable); major pathway is via cytochrome P450 isoenzyme CYP3A4, 2C8, and 2D6.

Bioavailability: Oral: ~35%.

Half-life elimination: Follows dose-dependent (nonlinear) pharmacokinetics; “apparent” or calculated half-life is dependent upon serum concentrations.

Oral: Half-life over the first 8 hours is 2 to 4 hours; terminal half-life: 8.6 hours.

IV: After IV infusion, serum concentrations decrease tri-exponentially; alpha half-life: 3 minutes; beta half-life: 45 minutes; terminal half-life: 14 hours (Note: Terminal half-life can only be seen after long-term infusions).

Time to peak, serum: Oral: 30 to 120 minutes (mean: 1 hour).

Excretion: Urine (oral: 60% as metabolites; IV: 49% as metabolites; <1% as unchanged drug); feces (oral: 35%; IV: 43%).

Clearance: Decreased in patients with hepatic impairment; may be decreased in patients with kidney impairment.

Pharmacokinetics: Additional Considerations (Adult Data Unless Noted)

Altered kidney function:

IV: Significantly lower systemic clearance and higher AUC in patients with mild to moderate kidney impairment.

Oral: Cmax and AUC were ~2-fold higher in patients with mild kidney impairment.

Hepatic function impairment: In patients with severe hepatic impairment, plasma concentrations were elevated and the half-life was prolonged.
