Potassium channel opener

A potassium channel opener is a type of drug which facilitates ion transmission through potassium channels.

Examples

Some examples include:

Diazoxide^[1] vasodilator used for hypertension, smooth muscle relaxing activity
Minoxidil^[2] vasodilator used for hypertension, also used to treat hair loss
Nicorandil^[3] vasodilator used to treat angina
Pinacidil^[4]
Retigabine,^[5]^[6] an anticonvulsant
Flupirtine, analgesic with muscle relaxant and anticonvulsant properties
