How it works
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Amlodipine Besylate). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
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.
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.
The bioavailability of amlodipine is not altered by the presence of food.

Safety of the active substance
From the US prescribing label for the same active substance (Amlodipine Besylate). It describes the substance, not this exact product.
- Known sensitivity to amlodipine ( 4 ) Amlodipine besylate tablets are contraindicated in patients with known sensitivity to amlodipine.
Most common adverse reaction to amlodipine is edema which occurred in a dose related manner.
