What is the primary use of calcium channel blockers?

  1. Treatment of diabetes

  2. Treatment of hypertension and angina

  3. Treatment of hypothyroidism

  4. Treatment of deep vein thrombosis

The correct answer is: Treatment of hypertension and angina

Calcium channel blockers are primarily used to treat hypertension and angina, as they help to relax and widen blood vessels, reducing blood pressure and improving blood flow to the heart. While they may also have some beneficial effects in treating other conditions, such as diabetes or hypothyroidism, these are not their primary uses. Deep vein thrombosis is typically treated with other medications and interventions, such as blood thinners and compression stockings.
