Lercanidipine is a medication that belongs to a group called calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing and widening your blood vessels, making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. This helps to lower your blood pressure and reduce the workload on your heart. Lercanidipine is suitable for adults who have high blood pressure and need to control their blood pressure levels.

You should take Lercanidipine exactly as prescribed by your doctor. The usual starting dose is 10 mg once daily. Your doctor may adjust your dose depending on your blood pressure response. The maximum recommended dose is 20 mg once daily. You can take Lercanidipine with or without food, but try to take it at the same time each day. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is nearly time for your next dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you experience symptoms like dizziness, weakness, or chest pain, contact your doctor immediately.

I am so grateful to Doctoronline.co.uk and I can’t express my appreciation enough, as they were there when I couldn’t get an appointment with my own NHS GP here in London.They are absolutely amazing and they have taken away the stress and anxiety that I felt when I needed a GP appointment and the thought of going through the whole process and worrying about missing a telephone call from my GP practice because I was working and knowing they wouldn’t call back .
Excellent service.

Very efficient
Very efficient. The website order form was simple and easy to follow. I couldn't get a doctor's appointment for a medication I have previously been prescribed so I opted to buy from this company instead. The price was reasonable and the medication worked perfectly and quickly and eradicated the problem, I'm back to good health again. It arrived quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to use this company again if necessary when I can't get a doctor's appointment.
