Product Overview

Recognized for its broad cardiovascular benefits, amlodipine not only controls blood pressure but also mitigates risks of unstable angina and myocardial ischemia. It inhibits VSMC proliferation, a key factor in vascular remodeling, by targeting G1-phase cell cycle progression. Additionally, it influences microRNA pathways, such as miR-21, to maintain healthy vascular smooth muscle function, offering protection against vascular diseases.

FAQ
What additional benefits does amlodipine offer?
Beyond lowering blood pressure, amlodipine has anti-atherosclerotic effects and reduces the need for revascularization in patients with coronary artery disease.

How does amlodipine affect vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)?
It inhibits VSMC proliferation and promotes a contractile phenotype, preventing pathological vascular remodeling.

What role does amlodipine play in managing BP variability?
Amlodipine effectively controls blood pressure variability, particularly in hypertensive patients with diabetes, reducing cardiovascular risks.
