How Sular Reduces Your Blood Pressure

Sular is a calcium channel blocker (CCB) that works by preventing the movement of calcium into the smooth muscle cells that surround your arteries. This action relaxes the muscles and reduces the pressure inside your arteries and lowers your blood pressure. Calcium causes these muscles to contract which narrows your arteries and makes it difficult for a proper blood flow. Unless treated, this pressure can damage your arteries and put a strain on your heart while it tries to pump blood to other organs.

Conditions Treated by Sular

Your heart is responsible for pumping blood through the arteries and to your muscles and other organs. If your arteries are narrowed for any reason, the blood exerts tremendous force as it tries to reach its destination and your heart strains to pump out blood as well as receive an oxygen enriched blood supply.

Your blood pressure depends on how hard your heart is working to pump blood to other organs and tissues and how relaxed or constricted your arteries are. There are few, if any, symptoms that would alert you that there is any conflict going on. See your doctor regularly, eat healthy, exercise, quit smoking, and Sular can reduce your blood pressure and your worry.

Before You Take Sular

Ask your doctor about any risks associated with taking Sular while you are pregnant, trying to become pregnant, or are breast feeding. To be certain that Sular is the right medication for you, talk to your doctor about other health conditions you have and any Rx drugs, OTC meds, and herbal preparations or vitamin supplements you are taking.
