Cleviprex, an injected drug to treat high blood pressure, produced by the New Jersey Based Medicines Co. of Parsippany, has been approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Cleviprex is the latest-generation IV dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. The first-cycle U.S. approval of Cleviprex was based on six Phase III trials involving 1,406 patients medical and surgical patients treated with Cleviprex. All Phase III trials met all of their primary endpoints.
Cleviprex doesn't accumulate in the body since it is metabolized in the tissues and blood, not the kidneys or liver. The most common adverse reactions seen with Cleviprex are headache, nausea and vomiting.
