Clevidipine Brand Name– Cleviprex
What is Clevidipine
Clevidipine is an injectable short-acting dihydropyridine L-type calcium channel blocker used for the treatment of hypertension.
The injectable emulsion is administered via continuous IV infusion; it has a very quick onset and short duration of action allowing for rapid dose titration (see Pharmacokinetics).
Relatively few drugs are available for the control of blood pressure before, during, and after a surgical procedure (e.g., nitroprusside, nitroglycerin, nicardipine), and most are longer-acting than clevidipine and associated with potentially dangerous toxicities (e.g., nitroprusside).
In August 2008, clevidipine was approved by the FDA for the reduction of blood pressure when oral therapy is not feasible or desirable.
