- it is easier for the heart to pump blood throughout the body.
- Amlodipine works
- Your blood vessels relax and dilate so that blood can flow through them more easily.
- The medication may be used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) in patients whose blood pressure is adequately controlled by taking the individual drugs together as separate tablets at the same dosage as the combination.
