Mechanism of Action

Amlodipine binds to L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle, reducing calcium influx, relaxing blood vessel walls (arterioles) thereby reducing peripheral resistance, lowering blood pressure, and improving coronary blood flow. The reduced afterload leads to reduced workload on heart, alleviating symptoms of angina.
