AMLODIPINE

 Trade Names: Amdipine , Amlod , Amlodip , Ampress , Antas.


Classification: Amlodipine is a long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. 


Indications: Hypertension 


Constant stable angina (chest torment or inconvenience that typically happens with movement or stress, because of helpless blood course through coronary vessels to the heart muscle) 


Prinzmetal's variation angina (A vasospastic angina comprising of cardiovascular chest torment very still, brought about by compression of the coronary vessels ). 


Mechanism of Action: Amlodipine has a place with the dihydropyridine (DHP) class of calcium channel blockers (CCBs), the most broadly utilized class of CCBs. There are at any rate five unique kinds of calcium diverts in Homo sapiens: L-, N-, P/Q-, R-and T-type. It was broadly acknowledged that DHP CCBs target L-type calcium channels, the significant direct in muscle cells that intervene compression; nonetheless, a few investigations have shown that amlodipine additionally ties to and restrains N-type calcium channels (see references in Targets area). Like other DHP CCBs, amlodipine ties straightforwardly to idle L-type calcium channels balancing out their idle conformity. Since blood vessel smooth muscle depolarizations are longer in span than heart muscle depolarizations, dormant directs are more common in smooth muscle cells. Elective grafting of the alpha-1 subunit of the channel gives amlodipine extra blood vessel selectivity. At restorative sub-harmful fixations, amlodipine has little impact on heart myocytes and conduction cells. 


Side Effects: Most basic unfriendly responses to amlodipine is fringe edema, migraine, weariness, sickness, stomach torment, and sleepiness.
