What does it do?

Lacidipine is a medication belonging to the calcium channel blocker class, used to lower blood pressure by dilating blood vessels. It is primarily prescribed for blood pressure control in patients with hypertension.

Lacidipine 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.
