Lercanidipine

Uses

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

Side Effects

Common side effects of Lercanidipine include flushing (a sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), headache, palpitations, tachycardia, and peripheral edema.

Expert Advice

  • Take Lercanidipine at the same time every day to help you remember to take it.
  • A sudden drop in blood pressure may occur, especially when you first start taking Lercanidipine.
  • To reduce the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.
  • Lercanidipine may cause ankle or foot swelling.
  • To alleviate swelling, raise your legs while sitting down.
  • Consult your doctor if the swelling does not go away.
  • It may cause dizziness; avoid driving or performing any activities that require mental focus until you know how Lercanidipine affects you.
  • Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy, or breastfeeding.
  • You have been prescribed Lercanidipine to improve blood pressure and/or reduce the number and severity of angina attacks.
  • Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of future heart attack and stroke.

Frequently asked questions

Swallow Lercanidipine tablets whole with a glass of water. Do not break, chew, or dissolve them. Take it on an empty stomach, at least 15 minutes before a meal, as fatty foods can increase Lercanidipine levels and may cause side effects.
No, you should avoid taking cyclosporine with Lercanidipine, as they can interfere with each other's effectiveness and increase the risk of side effects.
Yes, it is advisable to avoid alcohol while taking Lercanidipine, as it may further lower blood pressure and cause dizziness or headaches.
Yes, Lercanidipine is safe for long-term use and helps manage blood pressure but does not cure hypertension. Most people tolerate it well, and it does not cause lasting toxicity. Always follow your doctor's advice and do not stop the medication without consulting them first.
Lercanidipine begins to work on the day you start taking it, but it may take up to 2 weeks to experience the full benefits. Since hypertension often has no symptoms, you may not notice changes without measuring your blood pressure. Continue taking the medication as prescribed and monitor your blood pressure regularly.
Symptoms of Lercanidipine overdose may include vomiting, drowsiness, heart attack, and a significant drop in blood pressure, leading to rapid heartbeat or unconsciousness. Seek emergency medical care if an overdose occurs, as hospitalization and monitoring for 24-48 hours may be necessary.
Grapefruit and grapefruit juice can increase Lercanidipine levels, potentially leading to lower blood pressure, dizziness, or fainting.
No, continue taking Lercanidipine even if you feel better and your blood pressure is stable. Stopping suddenly can raise your blood pressure and increase the risk of stroke or heart attack. Blood pressure medications are often needed long-term unless otherwise advised by your doctor.
