Abstract

  • ▴ Azelnidipine is a new dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist with selectivity for L-type calcium channels that has recently been approved in Japan for the treatment of patients with hypertension.
  • ▴ Results from clinical trials showed that, in 95 patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension, long-term treatment with azelnidipine effectively controls blood pressure (BP). The mean reduction from baseline in sitting systolic/diastolic BP after 1 year of treatment was 27.8/16.6mm Hg.
  • ▴ Among 172 patients with uncontrolled hypertension receiving non-calcium channel antagonist antihypertensive agents, the addition of azelnidipine therapy significantly reduced mean BP in a non-comparative, 1-year study (a reduction from 165.7/95.4mm Hg at baseline to 138.2/79.9mm Hg at study end).
  • ▴ The antihypertensive efficacy of azelnidipine in patients with mild-to-moderate hypertension was shown to be similar to that of amlodipine or nitrendipine in randomised, double-blind studies. Azelnidipine and amlodipine controlled 24-hour BP to a similar extent.
  • ▴ Azelnidipine is generally well tolerated; vasodilator adverse events such as as headache and hot facial flushes account for most of the adverse events. Its use is not associated with reflex tachycardia.
