Indications

Amlodipine affects the amount of calcium found in your heart and muscle cells.
Amlodipine is a calcium-channel blocker.
Amlodipine is indicated for the treatment and prevention of angina resulting from coronary spasm as well as from exertion.
Amlodipine is indicated in the treatment of high blood pressure.
Amlodipine is indicated to lower high blood pressure. It is also used to prevent chest pain.
Chest pain or heart pain (angina) occurs because of insufficient oxygen delivered to the heart muscles.
Insufficient oxygen may be a result of coronary artery blockage or spasm, or because of physical exertion which increases heart oxygen demand in a patient with coronary artery narrowing.
This relaxes your blood vessels, which can reduce the amount of work the heart has to do.
