Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension); prevention and treatment of angina (chest pain) due to coronary artery disease.
How It Works
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (dihydropyridine) that relaxes and widens blood vessels by reducing calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle. This lowers blood pressure and decreases the heart’s workload, improving blood flow to the heart.
Directions for Use
Take orally as directed by the physician, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet with water; do not stop suddenly without medical advice.
Use with caution in liver disease (dose adjustment may be needed). May cause dizziness—avoid driving/operating machinery if affected. Monitor for excessive fall in blood pressure, worsening chest pain at start or dose increase (rare), and peripheral edema. Inform doctor if you have heart failure, severe aortic stenosis, or are taking other BP-lowering medicines.
Drug Interactions
Other antihypertensives (additive BP lowering), simvastatin (limit simvastatin dose; increased levels), strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, ritonavir) may increase amlodipine levels, CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin) may reduce effect, grapefruit juice (may increase levels in some patients)
