Pharmacological action

Phenigidine is a calcium channel blocker, a derivative of dihydropyridine. It inhibits the entry of calcium into cardiomyocytes and smooth muscle cells of blood vessels. It has antianginal and antihypertensive effects. Reduces the tone of the smooth muscles of the vessels. Expands coronary and peripheral arteries, lowers total peripheral vascular resistance, blood pressure, reduces afterload and myocardial oxygen demand.

Pharmacokinetics. When administered, phenygidine is rapidly and almost completely (more than 90%) absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Bioavailability is approximately 50%. The maximum plasma concentration is recorded 20-40 minutes after administration. Clinical effect onset: 20 min for oral administration, 5 min for sublingual administration. The duration of the clinical effect is 4-6 hours. The half-life is 2-4 hours. It is excreted mainly in the urine in the form of inactive metabolites. No cumulative effect.

Indications

Prevention and treatment of angina attacks arterial hypertension of various origins, hypertensive crisis.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to Phenigidin, cardiogenic shock, hypotension, tachycardia, acute myocardial infarction (first 8 days), heart failure, pregnancy, childhood.

Since Phenigidine is excreted in breast milk, avoid using it during lactation or stop breastfeeding during treatment

Special instructions

Special care must be taken when prescribing the drug to patients with significantly reduced blood pressure (systolic pressure below 90 mmHg), with severe heart failure or aortic stenosis.

In case of impaired liver function, careful medical monitoring of patients should be ensured, and if necessary, reduce the dose of Phenigidin.

The drug can affect the psychophysical abilities of the body, weakening attention and slowing down the response, especially while drinking alcohol.

The use of grapefruit juice during treatment with phenigidine can lead to an increase in the concentration of the drug in blood plasma and an increase in its hypotensive effect.

Taking Phenigidin may cause a false increase in the level of vanilla-mandelic acid in the urine during spectrophotometric studies, the results of determining this indicator by high pressure liquid chromatography are not distorted.

Composition

Due to a decrease in blood pressure, collapse may develop. A sharp decrease in blood pressure due to vasodilation is possible in patients undergoing dialysis, with malignant arterial hypertension and hypovolemia. When treating patients with stable angina pectoris within 1 hour after taking Phenigidin, pain behind the sternum may appear as an angina pectoris.

In some patients, usually at the beginning of treatment, an increase in the frequency, duration and severity of angina attacks is possible, which requires discontinuation of the drug.
