Amlodipine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) or a special type of chest pain called angina, including a rare form called Prinzmetal or variant angina. In patients with high blood pressure, the medicine works by dilating the blood vessels, so blood passes through more easily. In patients with angina, Amlodipine works by improving blood flow to the heart muscle, which then receives more oxygen to prevent chest pain. The medicine does not provide immediate relief for chest pains caused by angina. Usage instructions: Always use this medicine as your doctor or pharmacist has told you.
