| Calcium Channel Blockers | slow the rate at which calcium passes into the heart muscle and into the vessel walls. This relaxes the vessels. The relaxed vessels let blood flow more easily through them, thereby lowering blood pressure. i.e. Adalat® (nifedipine), Calan® (verapamil), Cardene® (nicardipine), Cardizem® (diltiazem), Cardizem CD® (diltiazem), Cardizem SR®(diltiazem), Cartia® (diltiazem), Covera-HS® (verapamil), Dilacor XR® (diltiazem), Diltia XT® (diltiazem), DynaCirc® (isradipine), Isoptin® (verapamil), Lotrel® (amlodipine), Nimotop® (nimodipine), Norvasc® (amlodipine), Plendil® (felodipine), Procardia® (nifedipine), Procardia XL® (nifedipine), Sular® (nisoldipine), Tiamate® (diltiazem),Tiazac® (diltiazem), Vascor® (bepridil), Verelan® (verapamil). |
