Felodipine, like nifedipine, is a type of calcium channel blocker that reduces blood pressure by blocking the voltage dependent calcium ion current in vascular smooth muscle and artificially cultured rabbit atrial cells, as well as blocking potassium induced portal vein constriction in mice, thereby reducing peripheral vascular resistance. The pharmacological effects of Feiluodi are related to the dosage of the medication, accompanied by an increase in reflex heart rate. Researchers have found that in animals and humans, this product has a mild diuretic effect on reducing peripheral vascular resistance, which is beneficial for the treatment of hypertension.

What are the pharmacological effects and mechanisms of action of Felodipine?

The main function of nifedipine is to reduce the patient's systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure, thereby improving the endothelial function of blood vessels; To the extent of anti atherosclerosis.
The mechanism of action of nifedipine is mainly twofold: ① it can lower systemic blood pressure; ② It can cause sustained dilation of the glomerular afferent arterioles. Therefore, nifedipine can increase renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate, improve renal ischemia, and prevent disturbances in renal vascular and glomerular structure and function. In addition, by regulating the passage of large molecules through the glomerular basement membrane, the metabolic activity of residual kidney tissue is reduced to a certain extent, and theFelodipine for preventing angina pectoris formation of free radicals is reduced to protect the kidneys. However, the drawback of nifedipine is that it may cause functional abnormalities in patients with kidney disease.
 

What are the side effects of Felodipine?

Felodipine powder, as a kind of high-quality long-acting antihypertensive drug, still has some side effects: compared with nifedipine sustained-release tablets, felodipine sustained-release tablets will also increase the heart rate of patients. There is also mild to moderate ankle edema, and this phenomenon is caused by peripheral porch expansion related to drug dose; Facial flushing, headache, palpitation, dizziness and fatigue will occur at the beginning of the treatment of felodipine sustained-release tablets or when the dosage is increased, and these reactions are mostly transient; Some patients will have swollen gums after taking felodipine, and patients can solve this problem through dental treatment; As for the confusion and sleep disorder of very few patients taking drugs, the current research has not confirmed that it is related to felodipine.
