what is 'amlodipine'?

Definition for Amlodipine

Amlodipine (as besylate , mesylate or maleate ) is a long-acting calcium channel blocker ( dihydropyridine class) used as an anti-hypertensive and in the treatment of angina . Like other calcium channel blockers, amlodipine acts by relaxing the smooth muscle in the arterial wall, decreasing peripheral resistance and hence reducing blood pressure; in angina it increases blood flow to the heart muscle.
