PLENDIL TABS FELODIPINE 5MG 30’S

Plendil (Felodipine) is a medication primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina pectoris (chest pain). It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart.

By inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle, Plendil helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow. It is often prescribed for patients who have not achieved adequate blood pressure control with other medications or who have specific cardiovascular conditions.

Common side effects may include headache, flushing, and peripheral edema. Plendil is typically taken once daily, making it convenient for patients. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider’s instructions and have regular check-ups to monitor their blood pressure and overall health.
