Felocor

Felodipine is a calcium channel blocker used for managing high blood pressure and certain heart conditions. This oral medication helps relax blood vessels to improve circulation.

Felodipine is primarily used to treat high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. By relaxing the blood vessels, it helps the heart pump blood more efficiently. This medication may also be prescribed for other heart-related conditions, such as angina, where it helps to reduce chest pain and improve blood flow.

Common effects of Felodipine may include headaches, dizziness, and swelling in the ankles or feet. Some users might experience flushing or a rapid heartbeat. These effects vary and are not experienced by everyone.

Felodipine should be used with caution in individuals with liver problems or low blood pressure. It is important to follow the advice of a healthcare professional regarding its use. Avoid sudden discontinuation without medical guidance.

Felodipine may interact with certain medications, including other blood pressure drugs, grapefruit juice, and some antibiotics. It is advisable to discuss all current medications with a healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions.
