Just as with the use of other "slow" calcium channel blockers, Felodip can cause reddening of the face, headache, palpitations, dizziness and increased fatigue.These reactions are reversible and most often appear at the beginning of treatment or with an increase in the dose of the drug. Also, depending on the dose, peripheral edema may appear, which are a consequence of precapillary vasodilation. Patients with gingival inflammation or periodontitis may experience mild swelling of the gums. This can be prevented by careful hygiene of the oral cavity
The incidence of side effects is classified according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization: very often - not less than 10%; often - not less than 1%, but less than 10%; infrequently - not less than 0,1%, but less than 1%; rarely - not less than 0,01%, but less than 0,1%; very rarely (including isolated cases) - less than 0.01%.
From the immune system: very rarely - a hypersensitivity reaction, angioedema.
From the central and peripheral nervous system: often - headache; infrequently - dizziness, paresthesia; rarely - faint.
From the side of the cardiovascular system: very often peripheral edema; often - "tides"; rarely tachycardia, palpitations.
From the gastrointestinal tract: infrequently - nausea, pain in the abdomen; rarely vomiting; very rarely - gingival hyperplasia, gingivitis.
From the liver and biliary tract: very rarely - increased activity of "liver" transaminases.
From the skin and subcutaneous tissues: infrequent - a rash, itching of the skin; rarely - hives; very rarely - the reaction of photosensitization, leukocytoclasic vasculitis.
From the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue: rarely - arthralgia, myalgia.
From the side of the kidneys and urinary tract: very rarely - pollakiuria.
