FELOTENS XL is a brand name for the medication known as felodipine, which is primarily used in the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension). It belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. By relaxing the muscles of the heart and blood vessels, felodipine effectively lowers blood pressure, improving blood flow and reducing the heart's workload. The "XL" in its name indicates that it is an extended-release formulation, designed to release the medication slowly over time, allowing for once-daily dosing. This can improve patient compliance with the treatment regimen by simplifying it. Managing high blood pressure with medications like FELOTENS XL can help prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems.
