This document provides information about the drug Amlodipine, including its generic and brand names, classification, actions, indications, contraindications, adverse effects, dosage, and nursing considerations. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used to treat angina, hypertension, and acts by inhibiting the movement of calcium ions across cardiac and vascular muscle cell membranes. It has potential adverse effects like dizziness, edema, and should be used cautiously in patients with conditions like CHF. Nurses should monitor patients taking this drug for blood pressure, cardiac rhythm, and output.
