Hi and thanks for the query,
It is very difficult to actually predict side effects or any reactions to arise from the use of drugs. The most important thing at this point in time for you I suggest is for you to take your drugs with lots of caution. You might have to report any unusual feelings or symptoms you experience while taking the drugs to your doctor. Nifedipine is of a different drug class, and cross reactions with the other drugs has not been described. You need not bother much as you take the drug. take it with caution and report any unusual findings to your doctor. Thanks and kind regards
