Type of drug: Calcium channel blocker
Amlodipine is a medication for high blood pressure. It is referred to as a calcium antagonist. Medicines which belong to the group of calcium antagonists or calcium channel blockers prevent your arteries from contracting by reducing the amount of calcium which enters the muscle cells. Calcium causes the arteries to contract. If the amount of calcium which goes into the muscle is reduced, the artery remains wider and relaxed. This makes it less strenuous for your heart to pump your blood through your body and lowers your blood pressure.
Please note: where a generic product has been ordered we may use a range of manufacturers to provide you with your medication, in order to maintain our service levels.
