felodipine and Hyperlipidemias

felodipine has been researched along with Hyperlipidemias in 4 studies

Felodipine: A dihydropyridine calcium antagonist with positive inotropic effects. It lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance through a highly selective action on smooth muscle in arteriolar resistance vessels.
felodipine : The mixed (methyl, ethyl) diester of 4-(2,3-dichlorophenyl)-2,6-dimethyl-1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid. A calcium-channel blocker, it lowers blood pressure by reducing peripheral vascular resistance through a highly selective action on smooth muscle in arteriolar resistance vessels. It is used in the management of hypertension and angina pectoris.

Hyperlipidemias: Conditions with excess LIPIDS in the blood.

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"In an open trial, the antihypertensive efficacy of felodipine and its effects on lipid metabolism were investigated in 117 Nordic patients with mild to moderate essential hypertension and hyperlipidaemia."5.08Effects of felodipine ER, a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, on blood pressure and serum lipids. ( Degen, A; Lorenz, H; Reuter, MK; Smith, N; Verho, M; Verho, P, 1998)
" Further dosage adjustments are made in accordance with a set protocol."2.67The Hypertension Optimal Treatment (HOT) Study--patient characteristics: randomization, risk profiles, and early blood pressure results. ( Hansson, L; Zanchetti, A, 1994)
"Felodipine was withdrawn and the diabetes was controlled before dental treatment was initiated."1.33Felodipine-influenced gingival enlargement in an uncontrolled type 2 diabetic patient. ( Fay, AA; Gapski, R; Satheesh, K, 2005)
