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

Use with caution in liver impairment (may need dose adjustment). May cause dizziness—avoid driving/operating machinery if affected. Monitor for low blood pressure, worsening chest pain at start or dose increase (rare). Use cautiously in severe aortic stenosis, heart failure, or elderly. Continue lifestyle measures (low-salt diet, exercise) as advised.
