Mechanism of action
Amlodipine relaxes vascular smooth muscle by inhibiting the transmembrane influx of calcium ions, promoting vasodilation and reducing blood pressure.
Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker: it relaxes the blood vessels so the heart does not have to pump as hard. It is taken once a day for high blood pressure and certain types of angina and coronary artery disease. It comes as 2.5, 5 and 10 mg tablets; the original brand is Norvasc.
Taken regularly, amlodipine controls chest pain, but it does not stop chest pain once it starts (MedlinePlus). Ankle swelling is a common side effect.
