Calcium Channel Blockers and Cholesterol Lowering
Calcium channel blockers
(Amlodipine, diltiazem, nifedipine, Verapamil)
Calcium channel blockers dilate the blood vessels making it easier for blood to be pumped through the heart reducing its workload.
Cholesterol lowering
(Aravastatin, simvastatin)
There are two groups of drugs that lower cholesterol called statins and fibrates. These supplement a low fat diet. Lowering high cholesterol helps to prevent heart attacks and strokes.
