Felodipine<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Felodipine Stada belongs to a group of medicines called 1,4-dihydropyridine derivatives\/calcium channel blockers. These drugs relax the muscles in the blood vessel walls and dilate the blood vessels. This in turn lowers blood pressure.

Felodipine Stada is used to treat patients with high blood pressure ( essential hypertension ).
