Two years ago I was diagnosed with type 2 Diabetes. My cholesterol and blood pressure are both high (blood pressure has improved this week since my GP increased the Ramipril to 10mg and added Amlodipine 5mg).
Amlodipine belongs to a group of medicines called calcium antagonists. It is used to treat: 1  high blood pressure (hypertension). 2  angina pectoris (pain in the chest caused by blockages in the arteries leading to the heart) or chest pain classed as vasospastic angina pectoris (or Prinzmetalâs angina). Amlodipine 2.5mg is not currently available and the 2.5mg dose cannot be obtained with Amlodipine tablets 5mg as these tablets are not manufactured to break into two equal halves. 2  Patients with impaired liver function: your doctor may prescribe you a different dose.
