What is amlodipine?

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker prescribed to treat high blood pressure and chest pain (angina). It works by blocking calcium from entering the smooth muscle cells of blood vessel walls, causing them to relax and widen—reducing blood pressure and decreasing the workload on the heart. For angina, it also relaxes the coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart muscle. Amlodipine is taken once daily and has a long half-life that provides smooth, consistent blood pressure control throughout the 24-hour dosing interval without significant peaks or troughs.

Calcium channel blockade

Blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle cells, preventing calcium-driven contraction and causing blood vessels to relax and dilate — reducing peripheral vascular resistance and lowering blood pressure.

Angina relief through coronary vasodilation

Relaxes and widens the coronary arteries, improving oxygen delivery to the heart muscle and reducing the frequency and severity of angina episodes — both at rest and during physical activity.

Long-acting once-daily control

Amlodipine's 30 to 50 hour half-life provides exceptionally smooth, sustained blood pressure reduction across the full dosing interval — minimizing the blood pressure fluctuations that shorter-acting calcium channel blockers can produce.
