A member asked:
Which one of the dhp ccb has better safety profile and less triggering atrial fibrillation and palpitations amlodipine or lercanidipine which strong?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
CCB's: If atrial irritability is a concern,I am of the opinion that you are much better off taking a nondyhydropyridine calcium channel blocker like diltiazem or verapamil for hypertension treatment. However I have no experience with lercanidipine.
