What is Lercanidipine Hydrochloride Hemihydrate?
Lercanidipine, the active ingredient in Lercanidipino Tarbis, is a calcium channel blocker presented as a tablet for oral use. It lowers elevated blood pressure in adults with hypertension. GNH USA supplies Lercanidipino Tarbis as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.
What is Lercanidipine Hydrochloride Hemihydrate used for?
Lercanidipine is indicated for the management of hypertension, acting on vascular smooth muscle to reduce systemic vascular resistance.
- Essential hypertension: lowers systolic and diastolic blood pressure in patients with primary high blood pressure. - Isolated systolic hypertension: reduces elevated systolic pressure, particularly in older adults. - Secondary hypertension: assists in controlling blood pressure when caused by other underlying conditions.
What are the side effects of Lercanidipine Hydrochloride Hemihydrate?
Adverse reactions may occur with Lercanidipine therapy.
Common Side Effects: - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Flushing: transient warmth and redness of the skin. - Peripheral edema: swelling of the ankles or lower legs. - Dizziness: especially upon standing. - Tachycardia: increased heart rate. - Nausea: occasional stomach upset.
Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe hypotension: marked drop in blood pressure requiring medical attention. - Myocardial infarction: rare occurrence of heart attack. - Hepatic dysfunction: abnormal liver enzyme elevations. - Allergic reactions: including angioedema or rash. - Cardiac arrhythmia: irregular heart rhythms. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome: severe skin reaction.
What precautions apply to Lercanidipine Hydrochloride Hemihydrate?
When prescribing Lercanidipine, clinicians should consider several safety measures. - Blood pressure monitoring: regularly assess to avoid excessive hypotension. - Liver function assessment: evaluate hepatic status before initiation. - Elderly patients: start at lower doses due to increased sensitivity. - Concomitant vasodilators: avoid abrupt combination that may cause profound hypotension. - Discontinuation: taper gradually rather than stopping suddenly. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.
What does Lercanidipine Hydrochloride Hemihydrate interact with?
Lercanidipine may interact with other medicines; awareness of interaction severity is essential.
Major Interactions (Avoid): - Strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, itraconazole): may increase plasma levels. - Grapefruit juice: can elevate drug concentration. - Concurrent potent vasodilators: risk of severe hypotension.
Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely):\n- Other antihypertensives (beta‑blockers, ACE inhibitors): may enhance blood‑pressure‑lowering effect. - Diuretics: can potentiate orthostatic hypotension. - NSAIDs: may reduce antihypertensive efficacy. - Digoxin: possible increase in serum digoxin levels.
