Cildip 10 mg has been increasingly used in patients with chronic kidney diseaseHypertension is the term used to describe the presence of high blood pressure. The blood pressure is generated by the force of the blood pumped from the heart against the blood vessels. Thus hypertension is caused when there is too much pressure on the blood vessels and this effect can damage the blood vessel
Theropeutic Class
Calcium-channel blockers
Pharmacology
Cildip 10 mg is a dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker. Cildip 10 mg binds to the dihydropy-ridine binding sites of the L-type voltage dependent calcium channel and inhibits Ca2+ influx across the cell membranes of vascular smooth muscle cells via this channel, consequently vascular smooth muscle is relaxed, causing vasodilation. Cildip 10 mg inhibits Ca2+ influx via N-type voltage dependent calcium channels in the sympathetic nerve cell membrane. The inhibition of Ca2+ influx via N-type voltage dependent calcium channel was observed over a similar range of drug concentrations to those inhibiting L-type voltage dependent Ca2+ channels. Consequently, release of norepinephrine from sympathetic nerve terminals would be inhibited. Cildip 10 mg is considered to suppress the reflex increase in heart rate after blood pressure reduction.
Dosage & Administration of Cildip 10 mg
