Lacidipine

Uses

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

How it Works

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

  • To reduce the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.
  • Lacidipine may cause ankle or foot swelling.
  • To alleviate swelling, raise your legs while sitting down.
  • Consult your doctor if the swelling does not subside.
  • This medication may cause dizziness.
  • Do not drive or engage in activities that require mental focus until you understand how Lacidipine affects you.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
  • You have been prescribed Lacidipine to improve your blood pressure and/or to reduce the number and severity of angina attacks.
  • Lowering blood pressure decreases the risk of future heart attacks and strokes.
