D Faulds et al.
Drugs & aging, 2(5), 374-388 (1992-09-01)
Felodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist which may be administered once daily in an extended release (ER) formulation. As monotherapy in older patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension, felodipine ER once daily provides effective control of blood pressure (BP).
H Purcell et al.
The British journal of clinical practice, 48(6), 311-316 (1994-11-01)
Hypertension is accompanied by a series of structural adaptations and pathological alterations in the heart and vessels. These include hypertrophy of the left ventricle and walls of resistance vessels, degeneration of elastic components in the walls of large arteries, atherosclerosis
P H Dunselman et al.
Clinical pharmacokinetics, 21(6), 418-430 (1991-12-01)
Absorption of felodipine is rapid and complete. A pronounced first-pass metabolism results in a bioavailability of 15%, irrespective of the oral formulation used. The peak plasma concentrations and area under the plasma concentration-time curve are linearly related to the dose.
A H Gradman
Clinical cardiology, 16(4), 294-301 (1993-04-01)
Coexisting medical conditions often complicate the selection of antihypertensive drugs. Felodipine, a new vascular-selective calcium antagonist with demonstrated antihypertensive efficacy, has not been found to alter lipid profiles in hypertensive patients. Studies in additional patient populations have yielded insights into
J L Reid
Journal of cardiovascular pharmacology, 15 Suppl 4, S50-S56 (1990-01-01)
Calcium antagonists demonstrate a close relationship between plasma drug level and effect on blood pressure (BP). Thus, the intensity and duration of action can be influenced by dose and disposition. Felodipine has a dose-related effect on diastolic BP whether given
