  1. High Blood Pressure (Hypertension): Amlodipine belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing the blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure. Controlling high blood pressure can reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other cardiovascular complications.

  2. Angina: Amlodipine is also used to treat certain types of angina, including stable angina (chest pain that occurs with physical exertion or stress) and vasospastic angina (chest pain caused by spasms of the coronary arteries).

  3. Side Effects: Common side effects of amlodipine may include swelling of the ankles or feet (peripheral edema), headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and flushing. These side effects are usually mild and may improve over time as the body adjusts to the medication. However, if they persist or worsen, it's important to consult a healthcare professional.

  4. Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure): Amlodipine can cause a decrease in blood pressure, which may lead to symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting, especially when standing up from a sitting or lying position. Patients should be cautious when changing positions, particularly if they are prone to orthostatic hypotension.

  5. Edema: Peripheral edema (swelling of the ankles or feet) is a common side effect of amlodipine. In most cases, this swelling is mild and transient, but in some individuals, it may become more pronounced or bothersome. If severe edema occurs, a healthcare provider may adjust the dosage or consider alternative medications.

  6. Gingival Hyperplasia: Amlodipine has been associated with gingival hyperplasia, a condition characterized by overgrowth of the gums. Patients should practice good oral hygiene and undergo regular dental check-ups while taking amlodipine to minimize the risk of this side effect.

  7. Heart Rate and Rhythm: Amlodipine typically does not significantly affect heart rate or rhythm. However, individuals with certain cardiac conditions, such as heart failure or conduction abnormalities, should use amlodipine with caution and under the guidance of a healthcare professional.

  8. Liver Function: Amlodipine is metabolized by the liver, so patients with liver disease may require dosage adjustments or closer monitoring during treatment. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about any existing liver conditions before starting amlodipine.

  9. Drug Interactions: Amlodipine may interact with other medications, including other antihypertensive drugs, certain antibiotics, antifungals, and medications that affect liver enzymes. It's important to inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking before starting treatment with amlodipine.
