Description |
It is a less potent vasodilator than
Nifedipine and has a modest direct negative chronotropic,
inotropic and dromotropic action. It produces modest
fall in BP with no change in heart rate. Large doses
decrease total peripheral resistance markedly and
may elicit reflex cardiac effects. It is a potent
coronary dilator.
