Plendil (Felodipine) is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Its effectiveness in lowering high blood pressure contributes to the prevention of strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems, highlighting the importance of blood pressure management in reducing the risk of serious cardiovascular and renal complications.
Felodipine, the active ingredient in Plendil, is known as a calcium channel blocker. This medication works by blocking calcium, leading to the relaxation and widening of blood vessels. By facilitating this vasodilation, Plendil enables blood to flow more easily, thereby reducing blood pressure and improving circulation.
Lowering high blood pressure not only addresses the immediate health concern but also plays a crucial role in preventing severe cardiovascular and renal conditions, emphasizing the broader impact of hypertension management on overall health and well-being.

This is not an exhaustive list, and other side effects may occur. If you experience any unusual or severe side effects while taking Plendil, contact your healthcare provider for medical advice.
Let your healthcare provider know if you have any allergies to Plendil or its ingredients.
Inform your healthcare provider about any pre-existing health conditions, especially heart disease, liver disease, or swelling in your arms and legs.
Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you take (including Plendil) before any surgery.
Plendil may cause dizziness. Avoid driving, operating machinery, or activities requiring alertness until it's safe. Limit alcohol and marijuana use, which can worsen dizziness.
Older adults may be more sensitive to side effects, especially dizziness.
Discuss the risks and benefits of Plendil with your healthcare provider if you're pregnant or plan to become pregnant. Consult your healthcare provider before breastfeeding as it's unknown if Plendil passes into breast milk.
Tell your healthcare provider about all medications you take (prescription, over-the-counter, and herbal products) to avoid potential interactions. Don't adjust medications yourself. Azole antifungals and macrolide antibiotics can affect how Plendil works.
Certain products like cough-and-cold remedies, diet aids, or NSAIDs can raise your blood pressure. Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you use to ensure safe use.
