Abstract
Amlodipine, occupies an important place in contemporary pharmacotherapy of cardiovascular system diseases. It is characterized by, confirmed in many large, randomized clinical trials, antihypertensive efficacy alone or in combination with other antihypertensive agents. Amlodipine has a beneficial effect on the incidence of cardiovascular complications, and long duration of action provides 24-hour blood pressure control. It also features a high selectivity to peripheral vascular disease, and favorable impact on coronary circulation. Of great importance is also a neutral metabolic profile, which is important especially in patients with coexisting hypertension, obesity, impaired lipid metabolism and diabetes.
