Felodipine (Plendil)

Felodipine is an oral calcium- channel blocker (CCB) of the dihydropyridine (DHP) class. Calcium is necessary for muscle cells to contract. Felodipine prevents calcium from being released within the muscle cells of the small arteries and thereby causes the muscles to relax and the arteries to dilate or expand. Felodipine has little or no effect on the muscles of veins or the heart.
