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 besylate and Amlodipine are used for the same diagnosis and treatment of High blood pressure or what is commonly referred to as hypertension. The only difference in the two drugs is that Amlodipine besylate is called a calcium channel blocker. It contains diabetic calcium and magnesium stearate, not found in Amlodipine. The dosage is the same for both drugs. Patients are generally started at 2.5 mg and can be taken as 5mg and 10 mg tablets a day.
