Amlodipine and Cilnidipine both come up in the same conversations; they overlap on Blood Pressure. Amlodipine: Amlodipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker of the dihydropyridine type, one of the most widely prescribed medicines for high blood pressure and angina. Cilnidipine: Cilnidipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure.
Amlodipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker of the dihydropyridine type, one of the most widely prescribed medicines for high blood pressure and angina. It works mainly by relaxing the muscle in artery walls, which widens blood vessels, lowers blood pressure, and improves blood flow to the heart. Its very long duration of action allows once-daily dosing with a smooth, gradual effect, and it is generally well tolerated apart from ankle swelling and flushing [1].
Cilnidipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure. Unlike most drugs in its class, it blocks both L-type and N-type calcium channels, the latter located on sympathetic nerve endings, which lets it lower blood pressure while limiting the reflex rise in heart rate seen with some other calcium antagonists. It was approved for medical use in the mid-1990s and is marketed mainly in Japan and several other Asian countries.
