Pharmacodynamics

Lercanidipine, a dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker, is used alone or with an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor, to treat hypertension, chronic stable angina pectoris, and Prinzmetal's variant angina. Lercanidipine is similar to other peripheral vasodilators. Lercanidipine inhibits the influx of extra cellular calcium across the myocardial and vascular smooth muscle cell membranes possibly by deforming the channel, inhibiting ion-control gating mechanisms, and/or interfering with the release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum. The decrease in intracellular calcium inhibits the contractile processes of the myocardial smooth muscle cells, causing dilation of the coronary and systemic arteries, increased oxygen delivery to the myocardial tissue, decreased total peripheral resistance, decreased systemic blood pressure, and decreased afterload.

This information should not be interpreted without the help of a healthcare provider. If you believe you are experiencing an interaction, contact a healthcare provider immediately. The absence of an interaction does not necessarily mean no interactions exist.
DrugInteraction
AbaloparatideThe risk or severity of adverse effects can be increased when Lercanidipine is combined with Abaloparatide.
AbametapirThe serum concentration of Lercanidipine can be increased when it is combined with Abametapir.
AbataceptThe metabolism of Lercanidipine can be increased when combined with Abatacept.
AcalabrutinibThe metabolism of Lercanidipine can be decreased when combined with Acalabrutinib.
AcarboseThe risk or severity of hypoglycemia can be increased when Lercanidipine is combined with Acarbose.
Food Interactions
  • Avoid alcohol. Alcohol may increase the vasodilatory effects of lercanidipine, which may lead to hypotension.
  • Avoid grapefruit products. Grapefruit inhibits the metabolism of lercanidipine through CYP3A4, which causes increased serum levels of lercanidipine, and may increase the risk of hypotension.
  • Exercise caution with St. John's Wort. Lercanidipine is metabolized by CYP3A4, and St. John's Wort is a CYP3A4 inducer.
  • Take on an empty stomach. Taking lercanidipine after meals increases its bioavailability, therefore lercanidipine should be taken least 15 minutes before meals.
