Mechanism of action
Amlodipine relaxes vascular smooth muscle by inhibiting the transmembrane influx of calcium ions, promoting vasodilation and reducing blood pressure.
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker, supplied as tablets in 2.5 mg, 5 mg and 10 mg strengths. It is used to treat high blood pressure and angina pectoris. Pfizer is the originator company, and the medicine also appears under the names Istin, Norvasc and Amlong.
It works by relaxing vascular smooth muscle: amlodipine inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions, which widens blood vessels and lowers blood pressure. A dose acts over roughly 24 hours, with onset around 6 to 12 hours. It is not for people with severe hypotension or shock. Worsening angina and acute myocardial infarction can develop after starting or increasing the dose, particularly in people with severe obstructive coronary artery disease, and this needs immediate medical attention.
