Uses of S-amlodipine

  • S-Amlodipine is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent angina (heart-related chest pain). It helps to relax blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing the workload on the heart.

How S-amlodipine works

  • S-Amlodipine falls under the dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker category. It acts on the L-type calcium channels of blood vessels by inhibiting the influx of calcium and regulating the contraction of blood vessels, therefore lowering blood pressure and enhancing the heart's ability to pump blood throughout the body. Additionally, it prevents heart-related chest discomfort by increasing oxygen flow throughout the body.

Expert Advice

  • Reducing blood pressure minimises the risk of a potential stroke or heart attack. Take S-Amlodipine daily at the same time to help you remember. Taking S-Amlodipine for the first time may cause your blood pressure to decrease suddenly. If you've been sitting or lying down, get up carefully to reduce your risk of feeling sleepy or dropping out. S-Amlodipine can cause swelling of the ankles or feet. Keeping your legs slightly raised while sitting can help to minimise the swelling. Consult your doctor if the symptom continues. S-Amlodipine may cause drowsiness. Do not operate a motor vehicle or perform any activity requiring mental focus unless you know how S-Amlodipine affects you. You should notify your doctor if you are pregnant, planning for pregnancy, or already breastfeeding.
