calcium antagonists
 
   

These drugs inhibit the transport of calcium into cells via the L-type calcium channel.

A major effect is to cause the relaxation of the vascular smooth muscle in small arterioles resulting in reduced peripheral vascular resistance.

They also promote the dilatation of coronary arteries.
