Scientific Evidence

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and lower blood pressure. Studies have shown that amlodipine is effective in reducing both systolic and diastolic blood pressure levels.

Research published in the American Journal of Hypertension demonstrated that amlodipine is well-tolerated and significantly reduces blood pressure in patients with hypertension, leading to a decreased risk of cardiovascular events.

Additional Information

It is important to regularly monitor blood pressure while taking amlodipine to ensure it is within the target range. Common side effects may include swelling in the ankles or feet, dizziness, and flushing. Consult a healthcare provider if these side effects persist or worsen.

Before starting amlodipine, inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have and any other medications you are taking to avoid potential drug interactions.
