Felodipine
Felodipine is a medication primarily used to treat high blood pressure, also known as hypertension. It belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing the blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This helps lower blood pressure and can reduce the risk of heart-related issues.
Patients taking Felodipine may experience side effects such as swelling in the ankles, flushing, or headaches. It is important to follow a healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosage and to discuss any concerns or potential interactions with other medications. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is also recommended.
