Amlodipine is a prescription medication available in 10 mg tablets, typically supplied in a bottle of 28 tablets. It is a calcium channel blocker used primarily for managing high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain).
Indications:
- Hypertension: Helps lower blood pressure, reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
- Angina Pectoris: Effective in relieving chest pain by improving blood flow to the heart.
Mechanism of Action: Amlodipine works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. This action results in relaxation of blood vessels, leading to decreased vascular resistance and lower blood pressure.
