MFDS ingredient code M283836
Felodipine is an antihypertensive ingredient belonging to the calcium channel blocker class. It is used in medications to lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. Its amorphous form increases absorption and enhances effectiveness.
Felodipine relaxes blood vessels by blocking the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells. This reduces vascular resistance and lowers blood pressure. Consequently, it decreases the strain on the heart and helps control hypertension.
