Nutrients Depleted by Clevidipine
Prolonged use of Clevidipine can impact 1 essential nutrient. This medication is commonly used for Hypertension.
- Folic Acid
Calcium channel blockers (CCBs), particularly nifedipine, can cause gum tissue overgrowth (gingival hyperplasia) in both men and women. Studies suggest a dose-dependent link with CCBs potentially doubling the risk. Studies also confirm a link between CCB use (like amlodipine and nifedipine) and gingival hyperplasia, even beyond factors like poor hygiene. Research suggests impaired folate uptake in gum tissue might be another key contributor. Supplementation with folate to help protect against CCB-induced hyperplasia may be beneficial.
