What is Amlopin 2.5mg Used For?
- Starting dose for elderly patients and those with liver impairment initiating Amlodipine therapy.
- Initial hypertension treatment in patients sensitive to blood pressure medicines.
- Allows careful dose titration before advancing to standard 5mg or 10mg doses.
How Does Amlopin 2.5mg Work?
- Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker that blocks L-type calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle.
- Gently relaxes blood vessel walls, reducing peripheral resistance and lowering blood pressure.
- Duration of action is 24 hours (half-life 35–50 hours); once-daily dosing is sufficient.
- Does not significantly affect heart rate or cardiac output at this dose.
How to Use Amlopin 2.5mg
Dosage: 2.5mg once daily; dose may be increased to 5mg after 2–4 weeks based on blood pressure response.
Timing: Take at the same time each day, with or without food.
Precaution: Do not stop abruptly. Avoid grapefruit juice. Monitor blood pressure regularly.
Side Effects of Amlopin 2.5mg
Common Side Effects: Ankle swelling (least common at this dose), headache, flushing, mild dizziness.
Serious Side Effects (seek medical help): Severe hypotension, chest pain, irregular heartbeat, severe allergic reaction.
Benefits
- Minimum Amlodipine dose — significantly reduced risk of ankle oedema and other side effects.
- Preferred for elderly patients (65+) and those with hepatic impairment.

Drug Interactions
- Simvastatin: do not exceed simvastatin 20mg/day when used with Amlodipine.
- CYP3A4 inhibitors (ketoconazole, clarithromycin, ritonavir): may increase Amlodipine blood levels.
- Grapefruit juice: inhibits CYP3A4 metabolism even at low doses — avoid throughout treatment.
- Other antihypertensives or diuretics: additive hypotensive effect — monitor blood pressure.
