Abstract
The haemodynamic effects of an oral solution of 15 mg felodipine were studied in 8 healthy males. Maximal plasma concentrations of felodipine were seen 30 to 40 minutes after administration, when significant decreases in diastolic and mean blood pressures were noted. Heart rate increased maximally by 45% after 30 minutes, accompanied by a 57% increase in cardiac output and 175% increase in forearm blood flow. Total peripheral resistance decreased by 40% and forearm vascular resistance by 66%. Apparent hepatic blood flow was unchanged.
