The drugs work by blocking calcium from initiating muscle contractions in the heart and the walls of blood vessels. This allows blood vessels to relax, reducing blood pressure. More than 28 million people, including 12.7 million in the U.S., take the drugs under a variety of brand names, from Adalat to Verelan...
