new calcium channel blocker for hypertension called Sular (nisoldipine)
January 1996
Zeneca is coming out with a new calcium channel blocker for hypertension called Sular (nisoldipine). It comes at a bad time...with all the concerns about using calcium blockers for hypertension.
Sular is a second-generation dihydropyridine...similar to amlodipine (Norvasc) and felodipine (Plendil).
These drugs are strong vasodilators. They lower blood pressure...but can also cause edema, headache, or dizziness.
