Abstract

Amlodipine is a new calcium antagonist of the 1.4-dihydropyridine group for treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris. Amlodipine is distinct from other calcium antagonists by its pharmacokinetic profile: slower onset of action with less acute vasodilatation associated side effects and a sustained antihypertensive and anti-anginal efficacy over 24 hours.
