Irazepine
Irazepine is a pharmaceutical drug used in the treatment of hypertension. It belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing the muscles of your heart and blood vessels. Irazepine is not widely used and is not available in all countries.
Mechanism of Action[edit | edit source]
Irazepine, like other calcium channel blockers, works by inhibiting the movement of calcium ions into the cells of the heart and blood vessels. This results in the relaxation of the blood vessels, which in turn reduces the pressure within them. This reduction in pressure makes it easier for the heart to pump blood, thus lowering blood pressure.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
As with all medications, Irazepine can cause side effects. These may include dizziness, headache, flushing, and swelling of the ankles or feet. If any of these side effects persist or worsen, it is important to contact your doctor or pharmacist promptly.
Interactions[edit | edit source]
Irazepine may interact with other medications, which can affect how it works or increase the risk of serious side effects. It is important to keep a list of all the products you use (including prescription/nonprescription drugs and herbal products) and share it with your doctor and pharmacist.
Precautions[edit | edit source]
Before taking Irazepine, it is important to inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are allergic to it, or if you have any other allergies. This product may contain inactive ingredients, which can cause allergic reactions or other problems.
