How does Lercanidipine Hydrochloride work?
Calcium channel blockers inhibit the ion channels within the cells of the heart and blood vessels. Ion channels are responsible for absorbing calcium into the cells of different body tissues.

By inhibiting the ion channels, calcium channel blockers such as Lercanidipine reduce the absorption of calcium through the ion channels and allow your blood vessels to relax and widen, and as a result, lower blood pressure.
