Renedil Description

Surprised to find out you have high blood pressure? Many people are oblivious to the fact they are at risk for a heart attack, stroke, or kidney disease because they are hypertensive which displays no symptoms that will warn you. This silent killer is responsible for millions of hypertension-related deaths annually.

Your doctor can take your blood pressure during a routine exam and start you on Renedil (same as Plendil) if your blood pressure reading is high enough to be a health risk. Renedil or generic Felodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that can be taken along with adopting a healthier lifestyle. The generic alternative is not manufactured by the company that makes the brand product.

Restore a Healthy Blood Flow to Your Heart

When taken as directed, Renedil stops the movement of calcium into your smooth muscle cells that surround your arteries. Calcium usually causes muscles to tighten which narrows the arteries and causes your heart to work harder to pump blood around your body and increases the pressure inside the blood vessels. As Renedil blocks calcium from causing the muscle contractions, your blood vessels dilate and your heart is able to supply your other organs and tissue easily as your blood pressure is reduced.

Conditions Treated by Renedil

Several factors can put you at a higher risk for hypertension; it may run in your family, your diet is not healthy, you are obese, stressed, or you consume a lot of alcohol. Renedil can certainly be effective at lowering your blood pressure, but it cannot do this job alone. You must become more active, talk to a nutritionist about eating healthier, exercise, stop smoking, and reduce your alcohol intake. There is no cure for hypertension so you may be required to take Renedil long-term along with a positive lifestyle change.

Before You Receive a Renedil Rx

Talk to your doctor to learn about possible risks of taking Renedil while you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or are breast feeding. Discuss other medical conditions or allergies with your doctor and list any OTC or Rx meds you take or use, including herbal remedies and dietary or vitamin supplements so it can be determined if Renedil is the best medication for you to take.

Renedil Precautions

You should avoid driving, operating machinery, or attempting any task that may be unsafe if you are impaired in any way until you know how your body will react to Renedil. Do not share Renedil, or any medications, with others and keep them stored safely out of children’s reach and sight.
