Used For:

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain). By relaxing the blood vessels, it allows for smoother blood flow, reducing the workload on the heart. Amlodipine is also used in the management of coronary artery disease and to prevent heart attacks and strokes in individuals with cardiovascular risk factors. It helps in improving exercise tolerance and reducing symptoms of chest pain related to angina.

Side Effects:

Common side effects of amlodipine include swelling of the ankles or feet, dizziness, flushing, headache, and fatigue. Less common side effects can include heart palpitations, abdominal discomfort, nausea, or a rash. Serious but rare side effects include a severe allergic reaction (angioedema), liver dysfunction, and an abnormal heart rhythm. If any severe side effects occur, medical attention should be sought immediately.

Precautions:

Amlodipine should be used cautiously in patients with liver or kidney problems, as it may require dose adjustments. It can cause a drop in blood pressure, especially when first starting treatment, so blood pressure should be monitored regularly. Amlodipine should be used with caution in patients with heart failure or certain heart conditions, and it may interact with other blood pressure-lowering medications. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult a healthcare provider before using amlodipine, as it is not fully established whether it is safe during pregnancy
