Not recommended for use.

Carefully.

As in the case of other dihydropyridines, an overdose of lercanidipine leads to excessive peripheral vasodilation with severe arterial hypotension and reflex tachycardia. However, when using the preparation in very high doses, a loss of peripheral selectivity is possible, which causes bradycardia and a negative inotropic effect. The most common adverse reactions caused by overdose were arterial hypotension, dizziness, headache and palpitations.

Treatment. Patients with clinically significant arterial hypotension require active cardiovascular support, including frequent monitoring of cardiac and respiratory function, a horizontal position with elevated lower limbs, control of circulating fluid volume and diuresis

The most commonly reported adverse reactions in clinical trials and post-marketing surveillance are peripheral edema, headache, flushing, tachycardia, and palpitations.

Contraindicated simultaneous use with: strong CYP3A4 inhibitors, cyclosporine, grapefruit or grapefruit juice.

Alcohol should be avoided as it may enhance the effect of vasodilatory antihypertensive preparations.
