Calcium channel blockers block the entry of calcium into muscle cells in artery walls. Muscle cells need calcium to constrict, so reducing their calcium keeps them more relaxed and lowers blood pressure.
A dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker is a type of medication that works by blocking calcium channels in blood vessels and the heart. This leads to relaxation of blood vessels, reduced heart workload, and decreased blood pressure. Examples include amlodipine and nifedipine.
When calcium carbonate reacts with hydrochloric acid, it forms calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water. The carbon dioxide gas is released into the atmosphere, causing a decrease in mass because it escapes as a gas rather than remaining in the solid form of calcium carbonate.
To find the number of atoms in 187 grams of calcium, we first need to determine the number of moles of calcium. This is done by dividing the mass (in grams) by the molar mass of calcium (40.08 g/mol). Next, we can use Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10^23 atoms/mol) to calculate the number of atoms in that number of moles.
the 3 elements found in calcium sulfate are calcium,sulfur and oxygen
Ca+O=CaO
Grapefruit juice may increase the effects of some calcium channel blockers.
The effects of taking calcium channel blockers during pregnancy have not been studied in humans.
No, side effects of calcium channel blockers do not contain hair loss.
Calcium channel blockers are available only with a physician's prescription and are sold in tablet, capsule, and injectable forms.
Calcium channel blockers will not cure high blood pressure, but will help to control the condition.
Digitalis heart medicines: Taking these medicines with calcium channel blockers may increase the action of the heart medication.

Nifedipine.
The discovery of calcium channel blockers is attributed to two scientists, Albrecht Fleckenstein and Wilhelm Siegmund. Fleckenstein first characterized the mechanism of action of calcium channel blockers in the 1960s, while Siegmund later identified verapamil as the first calcium channel blocker used clinically.
Some calcium channel blockers pass into breast milk, but there have been no reports of problems in nursing babies whose mothers were taking this type of medication.
Taking calcium channel blockers with certain other drugs may affect the way the drugs work or may increase the chance of side effects.
Older people may be unusually sensitive to the effects of calcium channel blockers. This may increase the chance of side effects.
