Felodipin Hexal Hexal A/S

Felodipine is a calcium channel blocker used to manage high blood pressure and angina. This oral medication helps relax blood vessels for improved circulation.

Felodipine is primarily used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain). By blocking calcium channels, it helps blood vessels relax, reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow. This medication is often prescribed for long-term management of these conditions.

Felodipine may cause common side effects such as headache, dizziness, and swelling in the ankles or feet. Some users also report 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 heart conditions. It is important to follow the advice of a healthcare professional regarding its use. Avoid sudden discontinuation without medical guidance.

Felodipine can interact with other medications, including certain antibiotics, antifungals, and HIV protease inhibitors. Grapefruit juice may also affect its effectiveness. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
