What is Felodipine Er?
Felodipine Er is an extended-release medication that reduces high blood pressure.
Felodipine Er is the most potent drug in a family of medications called calcium channel blockers. Put simply, the calcium channel is a chemical mechanism that allows nerves to conduct electricity and muscles to contract. Every beat of the heart is made possible by the calcium channel. By blocking the calcium channel, felodipine “weakens” the heart. It beats more slowly and pushes blood into the blood vessels with less force, reducing the pressure in the blood vessels.
Felodipine also weakens the muscles in the blood vessels. As these muscles relax, they get wider, and the pressure within them goes down.
Felodipine Er is taken as a tablet.
