Bepridil Hydrochloride Definition
The hydrochloride salt form of bepridil, a calcium antagonist and class IV anti-arrhythmic agent. Bepridil hydrochloride blocks calcium entry through membranous calcium channels of coronary and peripheral vascular smooth muscle, thereby dilating coronary arteries and peripheral arterioles. This increases oxygen delivery and reduces oxygen requirements. This drug is used to treat chronic stable and variant angina pectoris.
