Clevidipine (Cleviprex) for IV Treatment of Severe Hypertension ...
Clevidipine (Cleviprex - The Medicines Company), a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker (CCB), has been approved by the FDA for intravenous (IV) use in lowering high blood pressure. It is the second IV CCB to be marketed in the US; nicardipine has been available in an IV formulation (Cardene IV) for more than 10 years. Like IV nicardipine, clevidipine will probably be used mainly for urgent treatment of hypertension in intensive care units, operating rooms and emergency departments.
