S-Amlodipine

Uses

S-Amlodipine is used in the treatment of angina (heart-related chest pain), arrhythmia, hypertension (high blood pressure), hypertensive emergencies, subarachnoid hemorrhage, and anal fissures.

How it Works

How S-Amlodipine works S-Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. In cases of high blood pressure, it normalizes blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, which reduces the pressure on them and improves blood flow throughout the body. This enhanced blood flow further relaxes the heart muscles by decreasing the workload on the heart. Additionally, it improves oxygen delivery in the body, helping to prevent heart-related chest pain.

Side Effects

Common side effects of S-Amlodipine include ankle swelling, dizziness, fatigue, flushing (a sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck, and trunk), headache, palpitations, abdominal pain, muscle cramps, nausea, sleepiness, visual disturbances, dyspepsia, breathlessness, and changes in bowel habits.
