Hypertension: The initial dose of felodipine is 5㎎ once daily, and the maintenance dose is 5-10㎎ daily, taken orally in the morning. Do not exceed 20㎎ per day. This medicine may be administered concomitantly with a β-blocker or diuretic. If other antihypertensive agents are inappropriate, it may be administered as monotherapy.

Elderly patients: Administer with caution while monitoring the patient’s condition; consider an initial dose of 2.5㎎ once daily. Patients with renal impairment: Renal impairment does not affect the plasma concentration of felodipine. Dose adjustment is not required, but administer with caution to patients with severe renal impairment (GFR<30ml/min). Patients with hepatic impairment: Plasma felodipine concentrations may increase in patients with hepatic impairment, who may respond to treatment at lower doses.

It should also not be administered to patients with severely impaired heart function, acute myocardial infarction, or unstable angina. Patients with a history of allergy to this medication or certain heart valve diseases should avoid it.

Rarely, symptoms of liver dysfunction, blood anomalies, skin rash, muscle pain, or increased blood sugar may appear, so consult a doctor immediately if any adverse effects occur. Abruptly discontinuing this medication may worsen symptoms, so the dosage should be reduced gradually under a doctor's guidance. Since blood pressure can drop too low, it is advisable to avoid driving or operating hazardous machinery if dizziness is severe. This medication can be taken in the morning with meals or on an empty stomach. This medication can interact with other drugs, so caution is needed when taken with other antihypertensive drugs, certain antibiotics, antifungals, anticonvulsants, or grapefruit juice. Particularly, taking it with grapefruit juice can significantly increase drug concentration, so it should be avoided. It is safest for pregnant or nursing women not to use this medication; if unavoidable, they should stop breastfeeding. Safety in children has not been established, so it is advisable not to use in pediatric patients.
