Calcium Channel Blockers
Calcium channel blockers reduce the constriction of blood vessels, easing blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Certain calcium channel blockers will also help to slow heart rates.
Some popular calcium channel blockers include Cardizem SR, Sular, Calan SR, Isoptin SR, Norvasc, Lotrel, Dilacor XR, Tiazac, DynaCirc, Adalat, Procardia XL, Caduet, and Lexxel.
Side effects can include dizziness, headache, constipation, flushing, peripheral edema and rapid heart rate.
