Amlodipine

Uses

Amlodipine is used in the treatment of angina (heart-related chest pain), hypertension (high blood pressure), arrhythmia, hypertensive emergencies, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and anal fissures.

How it Works

How Amlodipine works Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. In cases of high blood pressure, it helps normalize blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, which reduces pressure on them and improves blood flow throughout the body. The increased blood flow further relaxes the heart muscles by decreasing the workload on the heart. Additionally, it enhances oxygen delivery in the body, thereby preventing heart-related chest pain.

Side Effects

Common side effects of Amlodipine include headache, nausea, abdominal pain, flushing (a sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), dizziness, palpitations, edema (swelling), muscle cramps, visual disturbances, shortness of breath, changes in bowel habits, and weakness.

Expert Advice

To alleviate swelling, elevate your legs while sitting.

Dizziness may occur; do not drive or engage in activities requiring mental focus until you understand how Amlodipine affects you.
Inform your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
