How Cardipin 5 works
Cardipin 5 is a calcium channel blocker. In high blood pressure, it normalizes the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels to reduce the pressure on them, thereby improving the blood flow in the body. In heart-related chest pain (angina), the enhanced blood flow in the body relaxes the heart muscles by reducing the workload on the heart. It also improves the oxygen flow in the body, thereby, preventing any heart-related chest pain.
What if you forget to take Cardipin 5?
If you miss a dose of Cardipin 5, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.
Quick Tips

- A sudden drop in your blood pressure may occur, especially when you first start taking Cardipin 5. To lower the chance of feeling dizzy or passing out, rise slowly if you have been sitting or lying down.
- It can cause ankle or foot swelling. To reduce the swelling, raise your legs while you are sitting down. Talk to your doctor if it does not go away.
- It may cause dizziness. Do not drive or perform any activity that requires mental focus until you know how Cardipin 5 affects you.

Prinzmetal's angina; Stable angina
Adult: Initially, 5 mg once daily increased to 10 mg once daily if necessary.
Elderly: Initially, 2.5 mg once daily. maintenance: 10 mg/day
Hepatic impairment: Initially, 2.5 mg once daily.
Hypertension
Adult: Initially, 5 mg once daily increased to 10 mg once daily if necessary.
Elderly: Initially, 2.5 mg once daily. may be increased by 2.5 mg/day every 7-14 days; not to exceed 10 mg/day PO; maintenance: 5-10 mg/day PO
Hepatic impairment: Initially, 2.5 mg once daily.
Administration
Plasma concentrations may be elevated w/ CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g. azole antifungals, ritonavir). Concomitant therapy w/ simvastatin may increase risk of myopathy including rhabdomyolysis. May increase ciclosporin plasma levels and conivaptan.
Adult Dose
Impaired liver or renal function, CHF, sick-sinus syndrome, severe ventricular dysfunction, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, severe aortic stenosis. Caution when used in patients with idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. Elderly, children. Pregnancy, lactation. Use in renal failure: Although Amlodipine is excreted primarily via kidney, mild renal impairment does not appear to have an effect on the plasma concentrations. Severe renal impairment may however require a dosage reduction. Amlodipine is not dialyzable. Use in patients with impaired hepatic function: Amlodipine half-life is prolonged in patient with impaired hepatic function. Amlodipine should therefore be administered at lower (5mg) initial dose in these patients. Use in...

Amlodipine relaxes peripheral and coronary vascular smooth muscle. It produces coronary vasodilation by inhibiting the entry of Ca ions into the slow channels or select voltage-sensitive channels of the vascular smooth muscle and myocardium during depolarisation. It also increases myocardial oxygen delivery in patients w/ vasospastic angina.
Contraindication
Hypertension
6 years: 2.5-5 mg/day PO
