| Nicardipine |
Nicardipine is a second generation slow calcium channel inhibitor, and belongs to the phenyl-dihydropyridine group. Nicardipine has a greater selectivity for L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle than cardiac myocytes. Nicardipine produces smooth muscle relaxation and marked peripheral vasodilatation. |
