Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs)
A clinical directory of Calcium Channel Blockers (CCBs) used to treat high blood pressure, chest pain (angina), and heart rhythm disorders. This guide compares Dihydropyridines and Non-dihydropyridines, focusing on their distinct effects on the heart and blood vessels. Reviewed by Dr. Ahmad Baker for cardiovascular precision.

Felodipine (Feloblock) is a vasoselective calcium antagonist for the treatment of hyper-tension and stable angina pectoris. The active substance in Feloblock, felodipine, is a dihydropyridine derivate. Felodipine exerts its effect by reducing peripheral vascular resistance, particularly in arterial resistance vessels. Feloblock is indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure and can be used as monotherapy…
Felodipine (Felodipin STADA) is a vasoselective calcium antagonist for the treatment of hyper-tension and stable angina pectoris. The active substance in Felodipin STADA, felodipine, is a dihydropyridine derivate. Felodipine exerts its effect by reducing peripheral vascular resistance, particularly in arterial resistance vessels. Felodipin STADA is indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure and can be…
Felodipine (Healthplend) is a vasoselective calcium antagonist for the treatment of hyper-tension and stable angina pectoris. The active substance in Healthplend, felodipine, is a dihydropyridine derivate. Felodipine exerts its effect by reducing peripheral vascular resistance, particularly in arterial resistance vessels. Healthplend is indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure and can be used as monotherapy…
Felodipine (Plentopine) is a vasoselective calcium antagonist for the treatment of hyper-tension and stable angina pectoris. The active substance in Plentopine, felodipine, is a dihydropyridine derivate. Felodipine exerts its effect by reducing peripheral vascular resistance, particularly in arterial resistance vessels. Plentopine is indicated for the treatment of high blood pressure and can be used as monotherapy…
Felodipine (Plendil) is a vasoselective calcium antagonist for the treatment of hyper-tension and stable angina pectoris. The active substance in Plendil, felodipine, is a dihydropyridine derivate.

Composition Each capsule contains: Diltiazem HCl 60 mg , 120 mg or 180 mg. Properties As calcium channel blockers, Diltiazem reduces peripheral vascular resistance & decrease coronary resistance. It reduces B.P. without reflex tachychardia because it suppresses sinoatrial node stimulation. Also, it improves myocardial relaxation & diastolic function, improves left ventricular performance & prevents coronary…
