              Pharmacology

              Mechanism of Action

              Ca channel blocker: inhibits the transmembrane influx of extracellular Ca ions across the membranes of myocardial cells and vascular smooth muscle cells, without changing serum calcium concentrations, resulting in inhibition of cardiac and vascular smooth muscle contraction, thereby dilating the main coronary and systemic arteries

              Pharmacokinetics

              Onset: 1 hr (initial response; regular release); 2 hr (SR)

              Peak response: 2-3 hr (regular release); 8-10 hr (SR)

              Excretion: Urine (60-65%); feces (30%)

              Peak plasma time: 1.5-3 hr (regular release); 7-18 hr (SR)

              Bioavailability: 15-24%

              Protein Bound: 95-97%

              Vd: 3 L/kg

              Metabolism: Hepatic P450 enzyme CYP3A4

              Metabolites: Mono acids and a cyclic lactone product (inactive)

              Clearance: 40 L/hr

              Half-Life: 5-10.7 hr
