Lacipil 4mg

Lacidipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) medication used to treat hypertension and certain types of angina. It works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells, leading to relaxation of blood vessels and a reduction in peripheral vascular resistance. This results in improved blood flow and decreased blood pressure. Lacidipine offers a selective action on vascular smooth muscle cells, with minimal effects on cardiac contractility and conduction.

The benefits of Lacidipine extend beyond blood pressure control. Its vasodilatory effects not only lower blood pressure but also improve coronary blood flow, making it effective in the management of angina. Additionally, Lacidipine has been shown to have protective effects on the heart and blood vessels, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack and stroke. It is often prescribed as a once-daily medication, offering convenience and improved adherence for patients with hypertension or angina.
