Cleviprex (Clevidipine)

Cleviprex (clevidipine) is an intravenous medicine used in hospitals to reduce blood pressure when oral treatment is not feasible or not desirable, such as around heart surgery, in emergency departments and in intensive care. Its effect starts within minutes and wears off within 5 to 15 minutes of stopping, so blood pressure can be adjusted precisely.

Clevidipine blocks L-type calcium channels in the smooth muscle of the arteries, relaxing them and lowering blood pressure. It is rapidly broken down by esterases in the blood, which gives it its very short action.

• Contraindicated in patients allergic to soy or egg products, in defective lipid metabolism (such as pathological hyperlipidaemia or acute pancreatitis with hyperlipidaemia) and in severe aortic stenosis.
• It may cause low blood pressure and reflex fast heart rate; blood pressure and heart rate must be monitored continuously.
• Because it is a lipid emulsion, use strict aseptic technique and limit the daily lipid load as per the label.
• Patients switching from long-term beta-blockers should have the beta-blocker tapered, as clevidipine does not protect against beta-blocker withdrawal.

Is Cleviprex sold in India?

Cleviprex is an imported medicine and is not readily available through regular pharmacies in India. It can still be accessed legally on a named-patient basis, subject to Indian import regulations.

Which papers do I need to send?

Because Cleviprex is brought in for a specific patient, the following are required before we can place the order:

• A valid prescription from a registered cardiologist, intensivist or anaesthesiologist
• Hospital note documenting the need for IV blood pressure control
• Patient ID proof issued by the Government of India

How does confirmation work?

Once the prescription has been verified, we confirm the order and share the expected timeline.
