Felodipine Tablets

When taking this product, taking drugs that affect cytochrome P450 at the same time can affect the blood concentration of felodipine. Enzyme inducers (such as phenytoin, carbamazepine, barbiturates) can cause a decrease in the blood concentration of felodipine. Enzyme inhibitors (cimetidine) can cause an increase in the blood concentration of felodipine. Although felodipine has a high degree of plasma protein binding, it does not affect the binding degree of other plasma protein-bound drugs (such as warfarin).

The main ingredient of this product is felodipine. Its chemical name is 4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-2,6-dimethyl-3-pyridinedicarboxylic acid ethyl ester methyl ester.

This product is white tablets.

Used for the treatment of mild to moderate essential hypertension.

Oral: Starting dose 2.5 mg, twice a day, or as directed by a doctor. The usual maintenance dose is 5 mg or 10 mg per day. If necessary, the dose can be further increased, or other antihypertensive drugs can be added.

This product is the same as other calcium antagonists. Some patients may experience flushing, headache, dizziness, palpitations and fatigue. Most of these reactions are dose-dependent and appear temporarily within a short period of time after the dose is increased, and disappear as the application time increases. This product is the same as other dihydropyridine drugs. It can cause dose-related ankle swelling, gums or periodontitis. Patients may experience mild gum swelling after taking the drug, and may also experience rash and itching.

Pregnant women and those who are allergic to this product are prohibited from using it.

Precautions for children: There is limited experience with the use of this product in children. Precautions for pregnancy and lactation: Pregnant women are prohibited from using this product. Precautions for the elderly: For patients over 65 years old, the plasma clearance rate of felodipine decreases and the blood concentration increases, so the recommended starting dose is 2.5 mg once a day. These patients should pay attention to monitoring blood pressure when adjusting the dose.
