Plendil is a TABLET but CANNOT be split in half. This medicine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure. It may also be used to treat other conditions as determined by your doctor.
Why is Plendil prescribed?
Plendil is prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure. It is effective alone or in combination with other high blood pressure medications. A type of medication called a calcium channel blocker, Plendil eases the workload of the heart by slowing down its muscle contractions and the passage of nerve impulses through it. This improves blood flow through the heart and throughout the body, reduces blood pressure, and helps prevent angina pain (chest pain, often accompanied by a feeling of choking, usually caused by lack of oxygen in the heart due to clogged arteries).

Plendil does not cure high blood pressure; it merely keeps it under control.
