Effectiveness

How Cleviprex Affects PatientsClevidipine is a type of drug that helps to widen small arteries and veins, which can reduce blood pressure. It belongs to a class of drugs called dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers, and is the first of its kind. Studies have shown that it works by relaxing the smooth muscle cells that line small arteries, but does not reduce central venous pressure or affect the heart's output.
How Cleviprex works in the bodyClevidipine blocks the entry of calcium into muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. This helps the heart and arteries relax, allowing more oxygen to reach the heart muscle and resulting in improved blood flow.
