Oxodipine
Oxodipine is a calcium channel blocker used in the treatment of hypertension. It is a dihydropyridine derivative and has antihypertensive and antianginal effects. Oxodipine is not currently available in the United States.
Pharmacology[edit | edit source]
Oxodipine works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. It does this by binding to and blocking L-type calcium channels. This results in vasodilation and a reduction in systemic vascular resistance, which leads to a decrease in blood pressure.
Clinical Use[edit | edit source]
Oxodipine is used in the treatment of hypertension and angina. It is effective in lowering blood pressure and reducing the frequency of angina attacks. However, it is not currently available in the United States.
Side Effects[edit | edit source]
Like other calcium channel blockers, oxodipine can cause a number of side effects. These can include dizziness, flushing, headache, and edema. In rare cases, it can cause more serious side effects such as heart failure or arrhythmias.
