Amidepin is a medication classified as a calcium channel blocker, primarily used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). It works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into smooth muscle cells and cardiac cells through voltage-gated calcium channels, resulting in vasodilation and reduced heart contractility. This mechanism helps to lower blood pressure and alleviate the workload on the heart. Additionally, amidepin can improve blood flow by relaxing the blood vessels, thus providing relief from conditions related to cardiovascular strain.
