Azilpine 16 mg (Azelnidipine)
Azilpine 16 mg (Azelnidipine) is a prescription antihypertensive medicine used for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to the class of calcium channel blockers (CCBs) and is known for its long-acting blood pressure-lowering effect.
Azelnidipine helps control blood pressure smoothly over 24 hours, thereby reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.
Product introduction
Azilpine 16 mg contains Azelnidipine, a third-generation dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing strain on the heart.
Unlike some older calcium channel blockers, Azelnidipine provides gradual and sustained blood pressure control with minimal reflex tachycardia.
Azilpine 16 mg is usually prescribed for long-term management of hypertension and may be used alone or in combination with other blood pressure medicines.
