What is Lacidipine?

Lacidipine, which is available in limited areas, belongs to a group of drugs called calcium channel blockers (CCB) and heals hypertension. He shares many things in common with other CCBs, including a similar side effect profile. The drug also has interaction with other medicines or may be contraindicated in the presence of certain health conditions. This reduces blood pressure and increases heart efficiency. Lacidipine is just one of the CCB series that works in this way. It is not available in many regions, even in the US, but on the US market and elsewhere, similar medicines may be recommended instead. Everyone will not experience it and can only occur for a short time, while patients adapt to drugs. Lacidipine and other CCBs are particularly noted that it has adverse effects of drowsiness and dizziness. Patients starting the therapy should wait for some of these drugs to feel before the operation of cars or other machines.

Other reactions that do not indicate medical urgency are the stomach and/or constipation. A slight rash can evolve using or sometimes people hurt their head when they take lacidipine. Although these side effects are not "medically serious", they can be very annoying. Patients should communicate with a doctor about any problems they have with lacidipine. Doctors can propose alternative treatments because there are many other classes of drugs that treat hypertension.

More serious reactions to lacidipine require emergency attention. Patients should gain immediate help if they feel any change in heart rhythm or chest pain. There may also be severe drug allergy, which includes might, difficult breathing and swelling of the face, lips and tongue. In addition, a doctor's advice should be sought if conditions such as swelling, defined as water retention that causes swelling, occur in the limbs.

Many patients are not good candidates for this medicine based on medical or municipalitythe conditions. Children and pregnant women should not use it. People who have suffered a recent heart attack or who have aortic stenosis, unstable angina or cardiac arrathmia are strongly warned to avoid this drug. Porphyria, which are blood disorders, are also contraindications.
