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.

Dosage and Administration:

• The typical starting dose for adults is 5 mg once daily, which may be increased to 10 mg based on blood pressure response and tolerance.
• Take the tablet at the same time each day, with or without food.

Side Effects: Common side effects may include:

• Swelling (edema) in the hands, ankles, or feet
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Flushing
• Fatigue

Serious side effects are rare but can include significant hypotension or allergic reactions. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience symptoms like chest pain, severe dizziness, or swelling of the face or throat.

Precautions: Before taking amlodipine, inform your healthcare provider about:

• Any history of heart disease or liver problems
• Current medications to avoid interactions
• Pregnancy or breastfeeding status
