Feloten Tablet exhibits a high degree of selectivity for smooth muscle in the arterioles and in therapeutic doses has no direct effect on cardiac contractility or conduction. Feloten Tablet is seldom associated with orthostatic hypotension because of its lack of effect on venous smooth muscle and on adrenergic vasomotor control.
