Felodipine is a medication that belongs to a group of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. This helps to lower blood pressure and improve blood flow. Felodipine is suitable for individuals with high blood pressure and can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents.
About Felodipine
Dosage and usage
You should take Felodipine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The usual starting dose is 5 mg once a day, which may be increased to 10 mg once daily if needed. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water, preferably at the same time each day. Do not chew or crush the tablet. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions carefully. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.
What Felodipine contains
Each Felodipine tablet contains 5 mg or 10 mg of felodipine as the active ingredient. The tablets also contain lactose, maize starch, povidone, talc, magnesium stearate, hypromellose, titanium dioxide (E171), and iron oxide yellow (E172) as excipients.
Side effects
Common side effects of Felodipine may include headache, flushing, dizziness, swelling of the ankles, or constipation. Serious side effects that require immediate medical attention include chest pain, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, fainting, or signs of a severe allergic reaction such as rash, itching, swelling, severe dizziness, or trouble breathing.
Precautions
Do not take Felodipine if you are allergic to felodipine or any other ingredients in the tablets. Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially if you have liver disease or a history of heart conditions. Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking Felodipine as it may increase the risk of side effects. If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding, consult your doctor before using Felodipine.
