Amlodipine besylate (2.5 to 5 mg daily) is effective in lowering blood pressure in patients 6 to 17 years [see Clinical Studies (14.1)]. Effect of amlodipine besylate on blood pressure in patients less than 6 years of age is not known. 8.5 Geriatric Use Clinical studies of amlodipine besy...
This means it is not a good choice for lowering blood pressure quickly, and other agents, such as hydralazine, clonidine, and nifedipine XL (which work within 1 to 2 hours) are preferred. Continue reading Does amlodipine cause weight gain? Weight gain has been reported by some people ...
Amlodipine is indicated for the treatment of hypertension, tolower blood pressure. Lowering blood pressure reduces the risk of fatal and nonfatal cardiovascular events, primarily strokes and myocardial infarctions.

and had a blood amlodipine concentration of at least 0.25μg/mL at presentation (median concentration was 0.47μg/mL). Included patients had a median age of 60 years and 47% were female. The presence of NCPE was determined by the need for positive pressure ventilation that was not better ...
Results of studies involving 24 healthy subjects indicated that absorption of amlodipine from a capsule was equivalent to that from a solution, suggesting that the slow trans- fer of amlodipine into the blood is a property of the drug not of the dosage form; it was also shown that absorption...
