DHP Calcium Channel Blockers Mnemonic for NCLEX | Mechanism of Action, Side Effects

Review how DHP (vs non DHP) Calcium Channel Blockers work, including their mechanism of action and side effects.
Study this Dihydropyridine Calcium Channel Blockers mnemonic for nursing pharmacology and other NCLEX mnemonics with Pixorize.
DHP calcium channel blockers consist of medications that end in “-dipine”, including amlodipine, nifedipine, and felodipine. These drugs work by causing arterial vasodilation, which has the overall effect of reducing blood pressure. Clinically, these drugs are used to treat hypertension and angina. Side effects include peripheral edema, flushing, reflex tachycardia, and headache. Patients taking calcium channel blockers should avoid grapefruit juice.
