Pharmacological action

The derivative of dihydropyridine, a blocker of œslow calcium channels (BMCC) of the second generation, has antianginal and hypotensive effects. By binding to dihydropyridine receptors, it blocks calcium channels, reduces the transmembrane transition of calcium ions to the cell (to a greater extent in vascular smooth muscle cells than in cardiomyocytes).

The antianginal effect is due to the expansion of the coronary and peripheral arteries and arterioles: with angina pectoris it reduces the severity of myocardial ischemia by expanding peripheral arterioles, reduces total peripheral vascular resistance (OPSS), reduces preload on the heart, reduces myocardial oxygen demand.

Expands the main coronary arteries and arterioles in the unchanged and ischemic areas of the myocardium, increases the flow of oxygen to the myocardium (especially with vasospastic angina pectoris) and prevents the development of coronary artery spasm (including that caused by smoking). In patients with stable angina pectoris, a single daily dose increases exercise tolerance, slows the development of angina pectoris and œischemic depression of the ST segment, and reduces the frequency of angina attacks and consumption of nitroglycerin and other nitrates.

Has a prolonged dose-dependent hypotensive effect. The antihypertensive effect is due to a direct vasodilating effect on the smooth muscles of blood vessels. In case of arterial hypertension, a single dose provides a clinically significant decrease in blood pressure (BP) over 24 hours (in the patient ™s œlying and œstanding position). Orthostatic hypotension with the appointment of amlodipine is quite rare. Does not cause a decrease in exercise tolerance, ejection fraction of the left ventricle.

Reduces the degree of left ventricular myocardial hypertrophy, has antiatherosclerotic and cardioprotective effects in coronary heart disease (CHD). It does not affect myocardial contractility and conductivity, does not cause a reflex increase in heart rate (HR), inhibits platelet aggregation, increases glomerular filtration rate, and has a weak natriuretic effect. With diabetic nephropathy does not increase the severity of microalbuminuria. It does not have any adverse effect on the metabolism and concentration of blood plasma lipids and can be used in the treatment of patients with bronchial asthma, diabetes mellitus and gout.

A significant decrease in blood pressure is observed after 6-10 hours, the duration of the effect is 24 hours. With prolonged therapy, the maximum decrease in blood pressure occurs 6-12 hours after taking amlodipine orally. If amlodipine is canceled after prolonged treatment, an effective decrease in blood pressure persists for 48 hours after the last dose. Then blood pressure indicators gradually return to their original level over 5-6 days.

Inside, the initial dose for the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris is 5 mg of the drug once a day. The maximum daily dose is 10 mg once.

With arterial hypertension, the maintenance dose can be 2.5 – 5 mg (1/2 tablet of 5 mg – 1 tablet of 5 mg) per day.

With angina pectoris and vasospastic angina pectoris – 5-10 mg per day, once. In order to prevent angina attacks – 10 mg / day.

Amlodipine is prescribed with caution in patients with impaired liver function as a hypotensive agent, in an initial dose of 2, 5 mg (1/2 tablet of 5 mg), as an antianginal drug – 5 mg.

In elderly patients, T1 / 2 of Amlodipine may increase and creatinine clearance (CC) may decrease. Dose changes are not required, but more careful monitoring of patients is necessary.

Dose changes are not required when given simultaneously with thiazide diuretics, beta-blockers, and angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors.

No dosage changes are required in patients with renal failure.

Drug Interactions Amlodipine can be safely used to treat hypertension with thiazide diuretics, alpha-blockers, beta-blockers, or ACE inhibitors. In patients with stable angina pectoris, the drug can be combined with other antianginal drugs, for example, prolonged-action nitrates, beta-blockers, or short-acting nitrates. Amlodipine can be used simultaneously with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) (especially indomethacin), antibacterial agents and hypoglycemic agents for oral administration. It is possible to enhance the antianginal and hypotensive effects of BMCC when used together with thiazide and œloop diuretics, verapamil, ACE inhibitors, beta-blockers and nitrates, as well as an increase in their hypotensive effect when used together with alpha-1-blockers, antipsychotics. Although a negative inotropic effect was not usually observed in the study of amlodipine, nevertheless, some BMCCs may increase the severity of the negative inotropic effect of antiarrhythmic drugs that cause a prolongation of the QT interval (for example, amiodarone and quinidine). A single dose of 100 mg of sildenafil in patients with essential hypertension does not affect the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine. Repeated use of amlodipine at a dose of 10 mg and atorvastatin at a dose of 80 mg is not accompanied by significant changes in the pharmacokinetics of atorvastatin. Ethanol (drinks containing alcohol): amlodipine, with a single and repeated use at a dose of 10 mg, does not affect the pharmacokinetics of ethanol. Antiviral agents (ritonavir) increase plasma concentrations of BMCC, including amlodipine. Antipsychotics and isoflurane – increased hypotensive effect of dihydropyridine derivatives. Calcium preparations may reduce the effect of BMCC. With the combined use of amlodipine with lithium preparations, an increase in the manifestation of neurotoxicity is possible (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, ataxia, tremor, tinnitus). Amlodipine does not alter cyclosporine pharmacokinetics. Does not affect the concentration of digoxin in the blood serum and its renal clearance. Does not significantly affect the effect of warfarin (prothrombin time). Cimetidine does not affect the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine. In vitro studies, amlodipine does not affect the binding of digoxin, phenytoin, warfarin, and indomethacin to blood proteins. Grapefruit juice: simultaneous administration of 240 mg of grapefruit juice and 10 mg of amlodipine orally is not accompanied by a significant change in the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine. Overdose Symptoms: excessive peripheral vasodilation with a pronounced and possibly prolonged decrease in blood pressure, collapse, shock. Treatment: gastric lavage, administration of activated charcoal, maintenance of the cardiovascular system, monitoring of heart and lung function, elevated, above head level, position of the lower extremities, control of circulating blood volume and urine output. To restore vascular tone – the use of vasoconstrictors (in the absence of contraindications to their use) in order to eliminate the effects of calcium channel blockade – intravenous administration of calcium gluconate. Hemodialysis is ineffective. Storage conditions In a dry, dark place at a temperature of no higher than 25 ° C. Keep out of the reach of children. Expiration 3 years. Do not use after the expiry date. Deystvuyuschee substances amlodipine terms of sale drugstores Prescription Dosage form tablet Appointment doctor’s prescription Indications Hypertension, Angina
