Uses & Benefits
Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure); management of chronic stable angina and vasospastic (Prinzmetal) angina.
How It Works
Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels by inhibiting calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle. This lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart’s workload, improving blood flow and reducing angina symptoms.
Directions for Use
Oral tablet. Take as prescribed by your doctor, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow with water; do not stop abruptly without medical advice.
Use with caution in patients with low blood pressure, severe aortic stenosis, heart failure, liver impairment (may need dose adjustment), and elderly patients. May cause dizziness—avoid driving or operating machinery if affected. Seek medical help for severe swelling, fainting, or allergic reactions.
Drug Interactions
Other antihypertensives (additive BP lowering), simvastatin (limit simvastatin dose; increased levels), CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir) may increase amlodipine levels, CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin) may reduce effect, grapefruit juice (may increase effect in some patients)
