How it works

This product’s leaflet is published as a scanned document. This section quotes the US prescribing label for the same active substance (amlodipine besylate). It describes the substance, not this Bulgarian product — its uses and doses can differ.

Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium antagonist (calcium ion antagonist or slow-channel blocker) that inhibits the transmembrane influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle.

Experimental data suggest that amlodipine binds to both dihydropyridine and nondihydropyridine binding sites.

How it leaves the body

Amlodipine is extensively (about 90%) converted to inactive metabolites via hepatic metabolism with 10% of the parent compound and 60% of the metabolites excreted in the urine.

With food

The bioavailability of amlodipine is not altered by the presence of food.
