What is Lercanidipine Hydrochloride?

Lercanidipine, the active ingredient in Lercanidipina Ciclum, is a calcium channel blocker presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It is employed to manage hypertension in adult patients, helping to lower elevated blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular risk. It is indicated for patients with primary (essential) hypertension and may be used as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensives.

GNH USA supplies Lercanidipina Ciclum as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The company adheres to stringent quality standards and provides regulatory‑approved products to global healthcare providers.

What is Lercanidipine Hydrochloride used for?

Lercanidipine is an antihypertensive calcium‑channel blocker that selectively relaxes arterial smooth muscle, thereby decreasing peripheral vascular resistance and helping to control elevated blood pressure in adults.

Hypertension (essential): provides sustained reduction of systolic and diastolic pressures, supporting long‑term blood‑pressure management either as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. Isolated systolic hypertension: especially beneficial in older patients by lowering systolic pressure and reducing cardiovascular strain.

What are the side effects of Lercanidipine Hydrochloride?

Lercanidipine may cause adverse reactions that vary in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Headache - Flushing - Peripheral edema - Dizziness

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe hypotension - Angioedema - Myocardial infarction

What precautions apply to Lercanidipine Hydrochloride?

When prescribing or dispensing Lercanidipine, consider the following precautions. - Dose adjustment: required in hepatic impairment - Avoid abrupt discontinuation: may cause rebound hypertension - Monitor blood pressure: ensure therapeutic response - Caution in elderly: increased sensitivity to hypotension - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original container, protect from moisture

What does Lercanidipine Hydrochloride interact with?

Lercanidipine can interact with several drug classes; assess the clinical relevance before co‑administration.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole): may increase plasma levels - Concomitant use with other potent vasodilators: risk of additive hypotension

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin): may reduce efficacy - Non‑steroidal anti‑inflammatory drugs: may increase risk of renal impairment - Diuretics: monitor electrolytes and blood pressure

Frequently asked questions

What is Lercanidipina Ciclum used for?+
Lercanidipina Ciclum contains lercanidipine, a calcium‑channel blocker indicated for the treatment of hypertension. It helps lower elevated systolic and diastolic blood pressure in adult patients, either as a stand‑alone therapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
How does lercanidipine work?+
Lercanidipine blocks L‑type calcium channels in vascular smooth‑muscle cells, reducing calcium entry. This causes arterial relaxation, decreases peripheral vascular resistance, and results in a sustained reduction of systemic blood pressure.
What is the usual dose of Lercanidipina Ciclum?+
The appropriate dose is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the patient’s clinical condition, response, and tolerability. Dosage may be initiated at a low level and titrated as needed, but exact regimens should follow the prescriber’s instructions.
Is Lercanidipina Ciclum safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for lercanidipine in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It is generally advised to avoid use unless the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant. Consultation with a healthcare professional is essential.
How do I order Lercanidipina Ciclum from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA supplies hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any necessary import documentation.
How does lercanidipine compare with amlodipine?+
Both lercanidipine and amlodipine belong to the dihydropyridine class of calcium‑channel blockers and lower blood pressure by vasodilation. Lercanidipine has a longer half‑life and may provide smoother blood‑pressure control with a lower incidence of certain side effects, though individual response can vary.
How should Lercanidipina Ciclum be stored?+
Store the tablets at ambient temperature, preferably below 25 °C. Keep them in the original packaging to protect from moisture and light. Do not store in bathrooms or other humid environments.
How is Lercanidipina Ciclum administered?+
Lercanidipina Ciclum is taken orally, usually once daily with or without food, as directed by the prescribing physician. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water; do not crush or chew unless specifically instructed.
What are the most serious risks associated with lercanidipine?+
Serious adverse events, although rare, include severe hypotension, angioedema, and myocardial infarction. Patients should be monitored for sudden drops in blood pressure, swelling of the face or throat, and chest pain, and seek immediate medical attention if these occur.
Who should not use Lercanidipina Ciclum?+
Lercanidipine is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug or any component of the formulation. Caution is also advised for individuals with severe hepatic impairment, unstable angina, or those taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors without medical supervision.
