Why is this medication prescribed?
Felodipine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
This medication is an oral calcium-channel blocker (CCB) of the dihydropyridine (DHP) class. By blocking calcium, felodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels so blood can flow more easily.
