On eHealthMe, Fosamax (alendronate sodium) is often used to treat osteoporosis. Amlodipine (amlodipine besylate) is often used to treat high blood pressure. Find out below the conditions the drugs are used for and how effective they are.
Amlodipine is a long-acting calcium channel blocker used as an anti-hypertensive, and in the treatment of angina. As with other calcium channel blockers, amlodipine acts by relaxing the smooth muscles in the arterial wall, decreasing peripheral resistance and hence improving blood pressure. In angina it improves blood flow to the myocardium. It was developed under the direction of Dr. Simon Campbell.
