Felodipine D5

Felodipine D5 is a deuterated analogue of the calcium channel blocker Felodipine, which is used in the treatment of high blood pressure. This medication works by relaxing the blood vessels, which lowers the blood pressure and allows the heart to work more efficiently. Felodipine D5 is used in clinical research studies to help determine the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of Felodipine. Felodipine D5 is administered orally in tablet form and is rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream. It is metabolized in the liver and excreted in the urine. The deuterium-labeled Felodipine D5 is used in pharmacokinetic studies to help measure the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion of the drug in the body. This medication is classified as a dihydropyridine-type calcium channel blocker and works by blocking the influx of calcium ions into smooth muscle cells. This prevents the contraction of the smooth muscle cells, which leads to vasodilation and a decrease in blood pressure. Felodipine D5 is a safe and effective medication when used as directed. However, it may interact with other medications, so it is important to inform your healthcare provider of all medications you are taking before starting treatment with Felodipine D5. It is also important to follow your healthcare provider's instructions regarding dosing and monitoring of blood pressure.
