Amlodipine Tablets

Active Ingredients: Amlodipine

Amlodipine Tablets are an antihypertensive drug used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure). It may be used alone or in combination with other medications. Amlodipine is also indicated for the treatment and prevention of chronic stable angina, vasospastic angina, and coronary artery disease.

Amlodipine may be prescribed to help lower the risk of complications or hospitalizations after certain heart operations, such as coronary revascularization.

Amlodipine is classified as a calcium channel blocker. It is a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist, which inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into the cardiac muscles and vascular smooth muscles. This activity relaxes blood vessels and the muscles of the heart. By widening and relaxing the arteries of the body, the pressure at which the heart must push in order to pump blood around the body is significantly reduced.
