Amlodipin vs. Lercanidipin — Welches schont deinen Körper wirklich?

Amlodipine or Lercanidipine? Which blood pressure medication is better – and why does amlodipine so frequently cause swollen legs, edema, and swollen feet? This comparison will tell you the most important differences between amlodipine and lercanidipine regarding blood pressure reduction, side effects, dosage, interactions, and costs. Your blood pressure is well controlled. Your doctor is satisfied. But your legs are swollen – for weeks or even months. You suspect heart failure, venous problems, or fluid retention. In fact, the blood pressure medication is often the culprit. Amlodipine and lercanidipine both belong to the class of calcium channel blockers and reliably lower blood pressure. Nevertheless, a significant proportion of patients develop edema, swollen ankles, or swollen feet while taking amlodipine – whereas this problem occurs much less frequently with lercanidipine. In this video, I'll explain the following in a 5-round comparison: – Round 1: Which lowers blood pressure better – and why there's no clear winner – Round 2: Edema and swollen legs – why amlodipine causes them and lercanidipine significantly less often – Round 3: Dosage and daily life – why amlodipine clearly scores points here – Round 4: Interactions with other medications – what CYP3A4 means and why it's more important with lercanidipine – Round 5: Cost and availability – the reality check The result is surprising: Amlodipine wins on points.
