The effect of felodipine 10 mg oral solution or placebo on peripheral haemodynamics and the response of the forearm resistance vessels to venous occlusion was studied in seven normotensive individuals. Felodipine produced a significant fall in diastolic blood pressure (DBP max = -15 mm Hg), a rise in heart rate (heart rate max = +15 beats min-1) (both P less than 0.01), and an overall fall in calculated forearm vascular resistance (calculated forearm vascular resistance max = -19.6 units, P less than 0.001). Felodipine had no significant effect on the vasodilator response, but limited the vasoconstrictor response following venous occlusion. These observations suggest that felodipine is a potent vasodilator and interferes with the myogenic response of vascular smooth muscle of the forearm resistance vessels.
