How does the Drug work
◉Amlodipine is a medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina). It belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers.
◉ Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing for better blood flow and reducing the workload on the heart. It does this by blocking the movement of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels, which causes the muscle cells to relax and the vessels to dilate. This leads to a decrease in blood pressure and an increase in blood flow to the heart muscle.
◉ The recommended starting dose of amlodipine for hypertension is typically 5 mg once daily, and it may be increased to 10 mg once daily depending on the response and tolerability of the individual. It is important to take amlodipine exactly as prescribed by a healthcare provider and to follow any specific instructions regarding food or other medications that may interact with it.
