What does it do?

Silnidipine belongs to the calcium channel blocker class and is used to control blood pressure. It is primarily included in medications to dilate blood vessels in patients with hypertension to lower blood pressure.

Silnidipine relaxes blood vessels by blocking the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells. As a result, vascular resistance decreases, and blood pressure is lowered. It also helps control blood pressure by blocking specific calcium channels in the nervous system.

Good to know

Unlike existing calcium channel blockers, Silnidipine also blocks calcium channels in the sympathetic nervous system, which results in superior blood pressure-lowering effects while causing fewer side effects related to increased heart rate.
