Why is Felodipine prescribed?
Felodipine is prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure. It is effective alone or in combination with other high blood pressure medications. A type of medication called a calcium channel blocker, Felodipine eases the workload of the heart by slowing down its muscle contractions and the passage of nerve impulses through it. This improves blood flow through the heart and throughout the body, reduces blood pressure, and helps prevent angina pain (chest pain, often accompanied by a feeling of choking, usually caused by lack of oxygen in the heart due to clogged arteries).
Most important fact about Felodipine
If you have high blood pressure, you must take Felodipine regularly for it to be effective. Since blood pressure declines gradually, it may be several weeks before you get the full benefit of Felodipine; you must continue taking it even if you are feeling well. Felodipine does not cure high blood pressure; it merely keeps it under control.
How should you take Felodipine?
Felodipine can be taken with a light meal or without food. The tablets should be swallowed whole, not crushed or chewed. Try not to miss any doses. If Felodipine is not taken regularly, your blood pressure may increase. --If you miss a dose...Take the forgotten dose as soonas you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, skip the one you missed and go back to your regular schedule. Never try to "catch up" by doubling the dose. --Storage instructions...
