Levamlodipine, also known as S-amlodipine, is a pharmacologically active enantiomer of amlodipine, an antihypertensive medication. Levamlodipine belongs to the dihydropyridine group of calcium channel blockers. This medication was first marketed in Russia and India before being granted FDA approval. The names S-amlodipine and levamlodipine may be used interchangeably as both substances are the same, however. As a racemic mixture, amlodipine contains (R) and (S)-amlodipine isomers, but only (S)-amlodipine as the active moiety possesses therapeutic activity.
Levamlodipine was granted FDA approval on 19 December 2019.
Levamlodipine is indicated alone or in combination to treat hypertension in adults and children.
