Nilvadipine (NIVADIL®) is a L-type calcium channel blocker for treatment of hypertension. It inhibits the influx of extracellular calcium through myocardial and vascular membrane pores by physically plugging the channel. The decrease in intracellular calcium inhibits the contractile processes of 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.

The recommended dose is 1 NIVADIL® 8 mg prolonged release capsule per day in the morning as a starting dose. If after 2 - 4 weeks of therapy an adequate anti-hypertensive effect is not achieved, a daily dose of 16 mg nilvadipine (2 x 8 mg NIVADIL® prolonged release capsules, or 1 x 16 mg NIVADIL® prolonged release capsule, in the morning) may improve the blood pressure response.
Route of Administration:
Oral
The cardiovascular effect of nilvadipine (FR34235) with the effects of nifedipine, nicardipine, and diltiazem on the dog using in vitro arterial strip preparations was compared. FR34235 reduced the amplitude of coronary arterial contraction induced by K+ more so than that induced by norepinephrine in in vitro preparations. The ID50 values of FR34235 for various arterial strips contracted by K+ were smaller (1/5-1/426) than those of nifedipine and diltiazem, and almost the same as those of nicardipine.
