Lemodip Tablet 5 mg contains Levamlodipine Maleate, a third-generation calcium channel blocker primarily used for the management of hypertension and related cardiovascular conditions. Levamlodipine is the pharmacologically active S-enantiomer of amlodipine, offering effective blood pressure control with improved tolerability and a lower risk of dose-related side effects.

Composition

Each tablet contains:

• Levamlodipine Maleate equivalent to Levamlodipine 5 mg

Therapeutic Class

• Calcium Channel Blocker

• Antihypertensive Agent

Indications

Lemodip Tablet 5 mg is indicated for:

• Management of essential hypertension

• Treatment of chronic stable angina

• Reduction of cardiovascular risk associated with high blood pressure

• Use as monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents

Pharmacology

Levamlodipine selectively inhibits the influx of calcium ions through L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. By reducing intracellular calcium levels, it promotes relaxation of peripheral arterioles, leading to decreased systemic vascular resistance and effective lowering of blood pressure.
As the active isomer, levamlodipine provides comparable antihypertensive efficacy at a lower dose compared to racemic amlodipine, resulting in fewer adverse effects such as peripheral edema.

Benefits and Features

• Effective and sustained 24-hour blood pressure control

• Reduced incidence of ankle edema and flushing

• Suitable for long-term management of hypertension

• Can be safely combined with other cardiovascular medications under medical supervision

Use in Special Populations

• Elderly patients may require dose monitoring due to increased sensitivity

• Caution is advised in patients with severe hepatic impairment
