Scientific Evidence:

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that works by relaxing blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. Studies have shown that amlodipine is effective in lowering blood pressure and reducing the risk of cardiovascular events.

Additional Information:

It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly while taking Amlodipine-TEVA tablets. Inform your doctor if you experience any side effects such as dizziness, swelling, or rapid weight gain.

Pharmacological Effects:

Amlodipine blocks the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. By inhibiting calcium influx, amlodipine causes vasodilation, leading to a reduction in blood pressure. This mechanism of action helps in the management of hypertension and angina.

Clinical Trials and Comparative Effectiveness:

Clinical trials have demonstrated the efficacy of Amlodipine-TEVA in lowering blood pressure and improving cardiovascular outcomes. Comparative studies have shown that amlodipine is as effective as other antihypertensive medications with a favorable side effect profile.
