Question: what is the difference between amlodipine and lercanidipine?
Answer: Significantly better blood pressure control was found with lercanidipine compared to the long-acting dihydropyridine channel blocker amlodipine (46% vs 34%, p=0.025). In diabetic patients, blood pressure control was 37% with lercanidipine compared to 34% with amlodipine or nifedipine (p=0.427).
