Amlopin® (Amlodipine) is a dihydropyridine calcium-channel blocker, with a long duration of action, used for the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris. Amlopin® (Amlodipine) influences the myocardial cells, the cells within the specialized conducting system of the heart, and the cells of vascular smooth muscle. Administration of Amlopin® (Amlodipine) results primarily in vasodilation, with reduced peripheral resistance, blood pressure and afterload, increased coronary blood flow and a reflex increase in coronary heart rate. This in turn results in an increase in myocardial oxygen supply and cardiac output.
May be taken without regard to meals.
Potentially hazardous interactions:
Little or no data are available in patients with markedly impaired cardiac left ventricular function; however, as with other calcium antagonist drugs, the combination of Amlodipine and β-blockers should be avoided in such patients.
Other Significant Interactions:
Precaution should be taken in patients with hepatic impairment and during pregnancy and breast feeding.
Keep all medicines out of reach of children. Store in a cool & dry place, protected from light.
