  • High cholesterol

It is also used to prevent heart attacks, stroke, and kidney issues.

How does amlodipine work?

Amlodipine works by targeting high blood pressure at its source - calcium. Calcium causes your blood vessels to contract. When it builds up within the cells of your arteries and heart, it can cause adverse conditions like high blood pressure.

Amlodipine is what's known as a calcium channel blocker. These are medicines that prevent unhealthy amounts of calcium from getting inside your arteries and heart. This helps your blood vessels and arteries relax and stay open, lowering your blood pressure and your risk of developing additional cardiac conditions.

What are the most common side effects of amlodipine?

The side effects of amlodipine are often mild and should go away within a few days to a few weeks. It is important to remember that your doctor prescribed amlodipine because they believe its benefits - bringing your blood pressure back under control - outweigh any possible side effects. Common side effects of amlodipine may include fatigue, nausea, dizziness, flushing, palpitations, and edema.

Speak to your doctor if you have any concerns about any adverse effects or if you have continuing side effects.
