Calcium Channel Blocker Overdose. [PDF]
J Educ Teach Emerg MedEmergency medicine residents and medical students on emergency medicine rotation.Calcium channel blocker (CCB) overdoses can be severe with potentially serious adverse outcomes. CCBs work by blocking the calcium channels on smooth and cardiac muscle tissue. At low dose ranges, dihydropyridine CCBs (such as nifedipine, amlodipine, and nicardipine) block

Calcium channel blockers‐are they diuretics? [PDF]
British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, 1985 Seven untreated patients with essential hypertension but without target organ damage were admitted to hospital. Urine was collected the following day from 08.00 to 13.00 h, 13.00 to 18.00 h, and 18.00 to 08.00 h. The protocol was repeated the next day following 30 mg oral nicardipine.
