Lercanidipine is a long-lasting calcium channel blocker of the dihydropiridine class. Among other drugs in this group it has advantageous profile of adverse effects. In this article are presented two patients: female already treated with amlodipine with lower limbs edema and elder female with insufficiently treated arterial hypertension. Both of them can benefit from treatment with lercanidipine.
