- Indication Info
- **INDICATIONS & USES:**
**Hypertension**
Amlodipine is indicated for the first-line treatment of hypertension and can be used as the sole agent to control blood pressure in the majority of patients. Patients not adequately controlled on a single antihypertensive agent may benefit from the addition of amlodipine, which has been used in combination with a thiazide diuretic, alpha blockers, beta adrenoceptor blocking agent, or an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor.
**Coronary Artery Disease**
_**Chronic Stable Angina**_
Amlodipine is indicated for the symptomatic treatment of chronic stable angina. Amlodipine may be used alone or in combination with other antianginal drugs.
_**Vasospastic Angina (Prinzmetal’s or Variant Angina)**_
Amlodipine is indicated for the treatment of confirmed or suspected vasospastic angina. Amlodipine may be used as monotherapy, or in combination with other antianginal drugs.
_**Angiographically Documented Coronary Artery Disease**_
In patients with recently documented coronary artery disease (CAD) by angiography and without heart failure or an ejection fraction <40%, amlodipine is indicated to reduce the risk of hospitalization due to angina and to reduce the risk of a coronary revascularization procedure.
- Contraindications
- **CONTRAINDICATIONS:**
Amlodipine is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to dihydropyridines\* or any of the inert ingredients.
