Lercanidipine is a medication that belongs to a group called calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing and widening your blood vessels, making it easier for your heart to pump blood around your body. This helps to lower your blood pressure and reduce the workload on your heart. Lercanidipine is suitable for adults who have high blood pressure and need to control their blood pressure levels.

It is quick and efficient and cost is reasonable. For repeat prescriptions of a pretty low level drug it would be better still to allow more than one months worth of pills at a time.
