2. Hypocalcemia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypocalcemia

   Hypocalcemia is a medical condition characterized by low calcium levels in the blood serum. [5] The normal range of blood calcium is typically between 2.1–2.6 mmol/L (8.8–10.7 mg/dL, 4.3–5.2 mEq/L), while levels less than 2.1 mmol/L are defined as hypocalcemic.

3. Calcium channel blocker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_channel_blocker

   Calcium channel blockers (CCB), calcium channel antagonists or calcium antagonists[2] are a group of medications that disrupt the movement of calcium (Ca2+. ) through calcium channels. [3] Calcium channel blockers are used as antihypertensive drugs, i.e., as medications to decrease blood pressure in patients with hypertension.

4. Calcium-induced calcium release - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/.../Calcium-induced_calcium_release

   Calcium-induced calcium release (CICR) describes a biological process whereby calcium is able to activate calcium release from intracellular Ca 2+ stores (e.g., endoplasmic reticulum or sarcoplasmic reticulum). Although CICR was first proposed for skeletal muscle in the 1970s, [1] it is now known that CICR is unlikely to be the primary ...

5. Voltage-gated calcium channel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltage-gated_calcium_channel

   Voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs), also known as voltage-dependent calcium channels (VDCCs), are a group of voltage-gated ion channels found in the membrane of excitable cells (e.g., muscle, glial cells, neurons, etc.) with a permeability to the calcium ion Ca 2+. [1][2] These channels are slightly permeable to sodium ions, so they are ...

6. Escitalopram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escitalopram

   Escitalopram is the (S)- enantiomer of citalopram (which exists as a racemate), hence the name es -citalopram. [ 9 ] Escitalopram was approved for medical use in the United States in 2002. [ 9 ] Escitalopram is rarely replaced by twice the dose of citalopram; escitalopram is safer and more effective. [ 11 ]

7. Modified-release dosage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modified-release_dosage

   Modified-release dosage. Modified-release dosage is a mechanism that (in contrast to immediate-release dosage) delivers a drug with a delay after its administration (delayed-release dosage) or for a prolonged period of time (extended-release [ER, XR, XL] dosage) or to a specific target in the body (targeted-release dosage). [1]

8. Calcium release activated channel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcium_release_activated...

   When calcium ions (Ca 2+) are depleted from the endoplasmic reticulum (a major store of Ca 2+) of mammalian cells, the CRAC channel is activated to slowly replenish the level of calcium in the endoplasmic reticulum. The Ca 2+ Release-activated Ca 2+ (CRAC) Channel (CRAC-C) Family (TC# 1.A.52) is a member of the Cation Diffusion Facilitator (CDF ...

9. Nifedipine - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nifedipine

   It is a calcium channel blocker of the dihydropyridine type. [2] Nifedipine is taken by mouth and comes in fast- and slow-release formulations. [2] Common side effects include lightheadedness, headache, feeling tired, leg swelling, cough, and shortness of breath. [2] Serious side effects may include low blood pressure and heart failure. [2]
