Zanidip Information:
Zanidip (generic name - Lercanidipine) is used to lower blood pressure in patients with mild to moderate hypertension. It belongs to the class of antihypertensive medications called calcium channel blockers. It works by blocking calcium from entering the smooth muscle wall of the blood vessels, thereby causing the relaxation of these smooth muscles. As a result, the blood vessels widen, lowering the blood pressure.
