How it works
The mechanism of the antihypertensive action of amlodipine is due to direct relaxant effect on vascular smooth muscle. The precise mechanism by which amlodipine relieves angina has not been fully determined but amlodipine reduces total ischemic burden by the following two actions. Amlodipine dilates peripheral arterioles thus, reduces the total peripheral resistance (after load) against which the heart works.
