Barnidipine real-life tolerability in arterial hypertension: results from the BASIC-HT study.

One cause is poor adherence to drugs, which can be improved by treatments combining good efficacy and tolerability. Barnidipine is a strong lipophilic calcium channel blocker (CCB) with efficacy similar to other dihydropyridines.
