Azelnidipine

Uses

Azelnidipine is used in the treatment of angina (heart-related chest pain), hypertension (high blood pressure), arrhythmia, hypertensive emergency, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and anal fissure.

How it Works

How Azelnidipine works Azelnidipine is a calcium channel blocker that regulates blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels and reducing pressure on them. This action makes it easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body, thereby normalizing blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

  • To alleviate swelling, elevate your legs while seated.
  • Consult your doctor if the swelling does not subside.
  • Dizziness may occur; avoid driving or engaging in activities that require mental focus until you understand how Azelnidipine affects you.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.

  • Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of future heart attacks and strokes.
