C08CA01 • amlodipine • Cardiovascular system | Selective calcium channel blockers with mainly vascular effects | Dihydropyridine derivatives
Amlodipine is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and angina. It is a calcium channel blocker that helps relax blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
Amlodipine is effective in preventing angina attacks and reducing the risk of cardiovascular complications, such as heart attack or stroke, in patients with hypertension.
It is generally well-tolerated but may cause side effects such as dizziness, headaches, ankle swelling, or fatigue. Patients should follow the prescribed dosage and avoid stopping the treatment without consulting their doctor.
Amlodipine can be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive medications to achieve optimal blood pressure control.
