Felodipine is used for: Treating high blood pressure, alone or with other medications. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your MD which may not be listed in the professional package insert.
Felodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by blocking the normal action of calcium on blood vessels and the heart. This allows the blood vessels to relax, the heart to beat with less force and pump out less blood, and the heart to beat more slowly and regularly.
Do NOT use felodipine if:
1. you are allergic to any ingredient in felodipine
2. you have a history of low blood pressure
