What does it do?

Efonidipine hydrochloride is a medication belonging to the calcium channel blocker class, primarily used for the treatment of hypertension. It is included in pharmaceutical formulations with the purpose of relaxing blood vessels to facilitate blood flow and regulate blood pressure.

Efonidipine hydrochloride dilates blood vessels by blocking the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells. As a result, vascular resistance decreases and blood pressure lowers.
