      Drug Name Nefazodone Cyclandelate
      Mechanism Potentiate the hypotensive effect of antihypertensive agents Antihypertensive agent
Voltage-gated calcium channel  Blocker
      Key Mechanism Factor 1
Factor Name Voltage-dependent L-type calcium channel Structure Sequence
Protein Family Calcium channel beta subunit family
Protein Function
Regulatory subunit of L-type calcium channels (PubMed:1309651, PubMed:8107964, PubMed:15615847). Regulates the activity of L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1A as pore-forming subunit (By similarity). Regulates the activity of L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1C as pore-forming subunit and increases the presence of the channel complex at the cell membrane (PubMed:15615847). Required for functional expression L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1D as pore-forming subunit (PubMed:1309651). Regulates the activity of L-type calcium channels that contain CACNA1B as pore-forming subunit (PubMed:8107964).

      Mechanism Description
  • Additive hypotensive effects by the combination of Nefazodone and Cyclandelate 

Recommended Action
      Management Caution and close monitoring for altered efficacy and safety are recommended if patients receive nefazodone with agents that can produce significant hypotension such as antihypertensive agents or vasodilators. Patients should be made aware of the possible side effects (e.g., dizziness, lightheadedness, orthostasis) and be cautioned about driving, operating machinery, or performing other hazardous tasks.
