Cleviprex prescription FAQs
How much does Cleviprex cost?
Depending on your pharmacy, Cleviprex infusion costs around $859 for 500 mg without insurance. Price varies with insurance coverage. Our prescription discount card helps members save up to 80% on prescriptions.
Does Cleviprex increase blood pressure?
No, Cleviprex does not increase blood pressure. Cleviprex can help patients achieve desired blood pressure reduction in systolic blood pressure when oral therapy is not feasible.
How long does Cleviprex last?
After Cleviprex infusion, your doctor will continue blood pressure monitoring to ensure your blood pressure approaches goal levels. If you don't take other antihypertensive therapies, your doctor will monitor your blood pressure for rebound hypertension for at least 8 hours after infusion.
Does Cleviprex affect heart rate?
Yes, Cleviprex may temporarily raise your heart rate. Systemic hypotension and reflex tachycardia are normal responses to vasodilation and the reduction of blood pressure.
Who should not take Cleviprex?
Talk to your doctor if you have significant disorders, such as:
High cholesterol or triglycerides
Problems with metabolizing fats
Severe narrowing of the aortic valve (severe aortic stenosis)
Kidney problems
Allergy to eggs, soybeans, or soy products
If you have significant disorders of lipid metabolism, your doctor may recommend lipid intake restrictions.What happens if I miss a dose of Cleviprex?
Because Cleviprex is administered in a clinical setting, you're unlikely to miss a dose.
What happens if I take too much Cleviprex?
Since Cleviprex infusion is given by a healthcare professional in a clinical setting, overdose is unlikely. If you receive prolonged Cleviprex infusions, your doctor will regularly monitor blood pressure and heart rate throughout your treatment.
About Cleviprex (clevidipine)
Cleviprex, a calcium channel blocker, works by relaxing the muscles of your heart and blood vessels. Cleviprex is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in people who cannot take oral antihypertensive therapy.
Cleviprex is available only by prescription. It may be available in a generic formulation as clevidipine as well as under different brand names.
Cleviprex is prescribed as an intravenous medication, administered by a healthcare provider.
Cleviprex uses
There is one FDA-approved use for Cleviprex, but your healthcare professional may also prescribe it off-label to treat other medical conditions.
Your doctor may prescribe Cleviprex for any of the following reasons, or other reasons not listed here. If you have questions about why a medication is prescribed, ask your online doctor or pharmacist.
High blood pressure
Cleviprex is FDA-approved for treating hypertension. It can treat perioperative hypertension in cardiac surgery patients, as well as acute severe hypertension when antihypertensive therapies are not feasible.

Cleviprex infusion can come in different doses, and a trained healthcare professional will administer the intravenous treatment in a clinical setting. The initial dose for adults with high blood pressure is 1–2 mg/hour through IV infusion.
Your doctor will monitor blood pressure and heart rate continually during infusion and until your vital signs are stable. Heart failure patients should be monitored carefully during prolonged Cleviprex infusions.
What to avoid while taking Cleviprex
