amlodipine Uses, Side Effects, Interactions, Warnings & Dosing
What dosages is amlodipine available in?
amlodipine is available as an oral capsule that contains amlodipine/benazepril in strengths of 5 mg/10 mg, 5 mg/20 mg, 10 mg/20 mg and 10 mg/40 mg.
What is amlodipine used for?
amlodipine is an ACE inhibitor/calcium channel blocker that is used to treat high blood pressure.
How does amlodipine work?
amlodipine is a combination of two medications that work together to lower blood pressure. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB). It works by relaxing your blood vessels to lower your blood pressure. Benazepril is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor. It relaxes your blood vessels by blocking the ACE protein that typically squeezes your blood vessels.
How do I take amlodipine?
amlodipine is typically started at a dose of 2.5 mg/10 mg (amlodipine/benazepril) by mouth once daily. Your provider will adjust your dose based on how well it’s helping your blood pressure and if you’re having side effects. The maximum dose is amlodipine 10 mg/40 mg (amlodipine/benazepril) once daily.
Is it safe for me to take amlodipine?
amlodipine is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have angioedema or history of hereditary or idiopathic angioedema, are currently taking aliskiren, or within 36 hours of switching to or from a neprilysin inhibitor, e.g., sacubitril/valsartan.
