A. Felodipine
B. Isradipine
C. Clevidipine
D. Amlodipine
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
This section details the correct sequence of elimination half-life for specific calcium channel blockers in increasing order.
The elimination half-life ($t_{1/2}$) represents the time taken for the drug concentration in the body to reduce by half. It is essential for determining appropriate drug dosages and administration intervals.
Comparing the approximate elimination half-lives ($t_{1/2}$) for the drugs listed:
| Drug Name | Question Abbreviation | Approx. Half-Life ($t_{1/2}$) |
| Felodipine | A | Approximately 15 hours |
| Isradipine | B | Approximately 8 hours |
| Clevidipine | C | Approximately 9 minutes |
| Amlodipine | D | Approximately 40 hours |
Ordering these calcium channel blockers by their elimination half-life, from shortest to longest:
The correct sequence using the question's abbreviations is C, B, A, D.
