Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure); treatment of angina pectoris (chronic stable angina) and vasospastic (Prinzmetal’s) angina; helps reduce risk of cardiovascular complications associated with high BP.

Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that relaxes blood vessels by inhibiting calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle. This lowers peripheral resistance and blood pressure and improves blood flow to the heart, reducing angina symptoms.

Oral tablet. Take exactly as prescribed, 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 severe hypotension, heart failure, aortic stenosis, or significant liver impairment (dose adjustment may be needed). May cause dizziness—avoid driving/operating machinery if affected. Seek medical help for severe swelling, chest pain worsening, fainting, or allergic reactions. Do not discontinue without consulting a doctor.

CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin, erythromycin, ketoconazole, ritonavir) may increase amlodipine levels; CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin) may reduce effect; other antihypertensives (additive BP lowering); simvastatin (limit simvastatin dose when used with amlodipine); grapefruit juice may increase levels; tadalafil/sildenafil (additive hypotension).

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from moisture and direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
