Zanidip belongs to the pharmacological class of Calcium Channel Blockers. Calcium channel blockers are the class of medications that come under dihydropyridine derivatives. Lercanidipine is a calcium channel antagonist. It selectively inhibits the transmembrane calcium influx into vascular and cardiac smooth muscles. It has a direct effect of relaxing the vascular smooth muscles which reduces peripheral resistance and further the blood pressure. The vasodilation effect has a gradual onset, meaning the medication rarely causes acute hypotension with reflex tachycardia in hypertensive patients.

Zanidip tablets come in two strengths: 10mg and 20mg, in a pack of 28 tablets.

  • 10 mg Zanidip tablets are round, scored, film-coated tablets. They are yellow because of their ingredient yellow iron oxide.
  • 20 mg Zanidip tablets are circular, biconvex, film-coated tablets. They are pink in color because of their ingredient red iron oxide.

Zanidip medication's purpose is to treat mild to moderate essential hypertension. Zanidip is given to lower blood pressure. It relaxes and widens the blood vessels in the body and brings back the blood pressure to normal by decreasing resistance to blood flow. Suppose Zanidip is not taken regularly or hypertension is left untreated for long. In that case, the condition can worsen and lead to other health complications such as stroke, heart disease, and kidney failure.

  • The suggested dosage of Zanidip is 10 mg once daily, at least 15 minutes before having a meal. The best effect of the medication is when Zanidip is taken at the same time daily.
  • Gradually titrate the Zanidip dose as it takes about 2 weeks for the maximal anti-hypertensive effect to be apparent.
  • The maximum recommended daily dosage is 20 mg daily.

Frequently Asked Questions:

No, Zanidip comes under the drug class- the calcium channel blockers. Although both beta blockers and calcium channel blockers are used as antihypertensive medications, they differ in their mechanism of action. A beta blocker works by blocking the effect of epinephrine hormone while a calcium channel blocker disrupts the calcium ions movement into the heart and arteries. Calcium's role is in the narrowing or contracting of blood vessels which increases blood pressure. Zanidip helps in widening or relaxing blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure.

No, Zanidip is a calcium channel blocker. It helps reduce blood pressure by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, unlike a diuretic that lowers blood pressure by preventing water retention in the body.

Zanidip or Lercanidipine is still under patent. Hence, a generic version is not available. When the drug patents expire, it will allow the production of generic versions. You can buy Zanadip online from CanadaPharmacyPro at the best price.

Yes. Lercanidipine is a safe and effective anti-hypertensive medication that can be taken even by patients at risk of kidney damage. It is a calcium channel blocker that exerts important tubular and vascular effects on the kidney like improved glomerular filtration rate, electrolyte excretion, and renal blood flow. Therefore, it seems to provide renal protection just like ACE inhibitors.
