Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Amlodipine belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily. Amlodipine is also used to prevent certain types of chest pain (angina).
Amlodipine, sold under the brand name Norvasc among others, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure and coronary artery disease.[3] While not typically recommended in heart failure, amlodipine may be used if other medications are not sufficient for high blood pressure or heart-related chest pain.[4] Amlodipine is taken by mouth and has an effect for at least a day.[3] Common side effects include swelling, feeling tired, abdominal pain, and nausea.[3] Serious side effects may include low blood pressure or a heart attack.[3] Whether use is safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding is unclear.[3] When used by people with liver problems, and in elderly individuals, doses should be decreased.[3] Amlodipine works partly by increasing the size of arteries.
