What does it do?

Azelnidipine belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers, used to relax blood vessels and lower blood pressure. It is primarily prescribed for blood pressure control in patients with hypertension.

Azelnidipine blocks the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to vasodilation. This results in decreased vascular resistance and lower blood pressure.
