Efonidipine

Efonidipine is a calcium channel blocker medication, specifically a dihydropyridine derivative. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) by relaxing the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the pressure on the heart. Efonidipine is available as a tablet and is typically prescribed for long-term use to manage hypertension in patients who have not achieved adequate blood pressure control with other medications or lifestyle changes. It is important to follow the prescribed dosage and schedule, as well as regularly monitor blood pressure to ensure effective treatment and avoid potential side effects.
