Scientific Evidence:

Studies have shown that lercanidipine, the active ingredient in Zanidip, is effective in lowering blood pressure by selectively blocking calcium channels in the blood vessels. This action results in vasodilation and reduced peripheral resistance, leading to decreased blood pressure levels.

Lercanidipine has been compared to other calcium channel blockers and has shown similar efficacy in lowering blood pressure with a lower incidence of side effects such as pedal edema, making it a favorable choice for hypertensive patients.

Additional Information:

• Storage: Store Zanidip tablets in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
• Side Effects: Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, and flushing. Consult your doctor if these symptoms persist.
