What is Lercanidipine Hydrochloride?

Lercanidipine, the active ingredient in Lercanidipino Cinfa, is a calcium channel blocker presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It is indicated for the management of hypertension in adult patients, helping to lower elevated blood pressure by relaxing vascular smooth muscle.

GNH USA supplies Lercanidipino Cinfa as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide. The product complies with EU quality standards and is manufactured under GMP conditions. It is available for export to regulated markets following appropriate regulatory approvals.

What is Lercanidipine Hydrochloride used for?

Lercanidipine acts on the vascular smooth‑muscle calcium channels to control blood pressure in hypertensive disease. - Hypertension: reduction of elevated blood pressure in adult patients.

What are the side effects of Lercanidipine Hydrochloride?

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

Common Side Effects: - Headache: mild to moderate pain often occurring shortly after dosing. - Flushing: transient warmth and redness of the skin. - Peripheral edema: swelling of the ankles or lower legs. - Dizziness: sensation of light‑headedness, especially when standing. - Tachycardia: increased heart rate. - Palpitations: awareness of heart beating.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Angioedema: swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat that may compromise airway. - Severe hypotension: marked drop in blood pressure causing faintness or shock. - Myocardial infarction: rare occurrence of heart attack. - Hepatic enzyme elevation: abnormal liver function tests. - Allergic reactions: rash, itching, or anaphylaxis.

What precautions apply to Lercanidipine Hydrochloride?

Before initiating therapy, clinicians should evaluate patient‑specific factors and monitor for potential risks. - Monitor blood pressure: ensure therapeutic targets are achieved without excessive lowering. - Assess hepatic function: consider baseline liver tests and periodic monitoring. - Use caution in the elderly: increased susceptibility to hypotension and dizziness. - Avoid strong CYP3A4 inhibitors: concomitant use may raise plasma concentrations. - Pregnancy and lactation: safety has not been established; use only if clearly needed. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Lercanidipine Hydrochloride interact with?

Lercanidipine can interact with several drug classes, requiring attention to avoid adverse outcomes.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin): may increase plasma levels and risk of hypotension. - Grapefruit juice: can elevate drug exposure leading to excessive blood pressure reduction.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- Other antihypertensives (ACE inhibitors, diuretics): additive blood‑pressure‑lowering effect. - Beta‑blockers: may enhance bradycardia or heart‑rate changes. - NSAIDs: may attenuate antihypertensive efficacy. - Simvastatin: increased risk of statin‑related muscle toxicity.

Frequently asked questions

What is Lercanidipino Cinfa used for?+
Lercanidipino Cinfa contains lercanidipine, a calcium channel blocker prescribed to treat hypertension. It helps lower elevated blood pressure by relaxing the smooth muscle in arterial walls, thereby reducing vascular resistance in adult patients.
How does lercanidipine work?+
Lercanidipine selectively blocks L‑type calcium channels on vascular smooth‑muscle cells. By inhibiting calcium entry, it causes vasodilation, which decreases peripheral resistance and leads to a reduction in systemic blood pressure.
What is the usual dose of lercanidipine?+
The appropriate dose of lercanidipine is determined by the prescribing healthcare professional based on the patient’s clinical condition, response to therapy, and any concomitant medications. Dosage adjustments are made according to individual needs.
Is lercanidipine safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety of lercanidipine in pregnancy and lactation has not been established. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus or infant, and the decision must be made by a qualified prescriber.
How do I order Lercanidipino Cinfa from GNH USA?+
To place an order, submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with 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 other antihypertensive classes?+
Lercanidipine belongs to the dihydropyridine calcium‑channel blocker class, which primarily causes arterial vasodilation. Compared with ACE inhibitors or beta‑blockers, it has a lower incidence of cough but may be more associated with peripheral edema. Choice of therapy depends on patient profile and comorbidities.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Lercanidipino Cinfa?+
Store the tablets at room temperature, preferably below 25 °C, in the original packaging to protect them from moisture and light. Keep the container tightly closed and out of reach of children.
How is Lercanidipino Cinfa administered?+
Lercanidipino Cinfa is taken orally, usually once daily with or without food, as directed by the prescribing clinician. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a glass of water and not chewed or crushed.
What are the most serious risks associated with lercanidipine?+
Serious risks include severe hypotension, angioedema, myocardial infarction, and rare hepatic enzyme elevations. Patients should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention if they experience swelling of the face or throat, chest pain, or a sudden, marked drop in blood pressure.
Who should not use lercanidipine?+
Lercanidipine is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to the drug or any component of the formulation. Caution is advised in individuals with severe hepatic impairment, unstable angina, or those taking strong CYP3A4 inhibitors.
