Calcium channel blockers are used as antihypertensive drugs, i.e., as medications to decrease blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

3. Amlodipine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amlodipine

It targets L-type calcium channels in muscle cells and N-type calcium channels in the central nervous system which are involved in nociceptive signalling and pain perception.

4. Calcium channel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_channel

   L-type calcium channel blockers are used to treat hypertension. In most areas of the body, depolarization is mediated by sodium influx into a cell; changing the calcium permeability has little effect on action potentials.

5. Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dihydropyridine_calcium...

   Dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers are derivatives of 1,4-dihydropyridine that are used as L-type calcium channel blockers. They are used in the treatment of hypertension.
