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.
