Felodipine is a vasoselective calcium channel antagonist of the dihydropyridine class used in the management of hypertension. It is chemically described as ethyl methyl 4-(2‚3-dichlorophenyl)-1‚4-dihydro-2‚6-dimetylpyridine-3‚5-di-carboxylate. Estimation of felodipine in biological samples and human plasma has been reported by gas chromatographic (GC) (Soons et al 1990) and liquid chromatographic (LC) methods.
