Amlodipine may be used alone or in combination with other antihypertensive and antianginal agents for the treatment of the following conditions.

  • Hypertension
  • Coronary artery disease
  • Chronic stable angina
  • Vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal’s or Variant angina)

    • For angina (chest pain):
      • Adults – 5 to 10 milligrams (mg) once a day. Your doctor may adjust your dose as needed. However, the dose is usually not more than 10 mg per day.
      • Children – Use and dose must be determined by your doctor.
    • For high blood pressure:
      • Adults – At first, 5 milligrams (mg) once a day. Some patients may be started on 2.5 mg once a day. Your doctor may adjust your dose as needed. However, the dose is usually not more than 10 mg per day.
      • Children 6 to 17 years of age – 2.5 to 5 mg once a day. Your doctor may adjust your dose as needed. However, the dose is usually not more than 5 mg per day.

Amlodipine besylate tablets are contraindicated in patients with known sensitivity to Amlodipine.

Hypotension

Symptomatic hypotension is possible, particularly in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Because of the gradual onset of action, acute hypotension is unlikely.

Increased Angina or Myocardial Infarction

Worsening angina and acute myocardial infarction can develop after starting or increasing the dose of Amlodipine besylate tablets particularly in patients with severe obstructive coronary artery disease.

Patients with Hepatic Failure

Because Amlodipine besylate is extensively metabolized by the liver and the plasma elimination half-life (t½) is 56 hours in patients with impaired hepatic function, titrate slowly when administering Amlodipine besylate tablets to patients with severe hepatic impairment.

  • Swelling of the hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs.
  • Headache.
  • Upset stomach.
  • Nausea.
  • Stomach pain.
  • Dizziness or lightheadedness.
  • Drowsiness.
  • Excessive tiredness.

Store amlodipine at room temperature.
