Felodipine

A calcium channel blocker of the dihydropyridine family, developed in Sweden: it widens the arteries and lowers blood pressure, and has been in use since the late 1980s for hypertension and angina. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, metabolites, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?With this drug the Canadian David Bailey discovered the grapefruit juice effect by chance: he had used the juice to mask the taste of alcohol in a study and found much higher drug levels in the blood.
