About Felodipine

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.

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.
