Adverse effects

[edit]

Common side effects are headache, confusion, fast heartbeat, andedema.Hypersensitivity reactions are rare and includeangioedema.[3]

Interactions

[edit]

The substance is metabolized by the liver enzymeCYP3A4.Consequently, CYP3A4 inducers such asrifampicinorcarbamazepinecould reduce the effectiveness of nisoldipine, while CYP3A4 inhibitors such asketoconazoleincrease the amount of nisoldipine in the body more than 20-fold.Grapefruit juicealso increases nisoldipine concentrations by inhibiting CYP3A4.[3]

Pharmacology

[edit]

Mechanism of action

[edit]

Nisoldipine is a calcium channel blocker that selectively inhibitsL-type calcium channels.[3]
