Ambloc Indications/Uses

Angina pectoris, chronic (treatment): Amlodipine is indicated in the management of classic angina (chronic stable angina or effort associated angina) with no evidence of vasospasm. It is also indicated in vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal is variant, or at-rest angina) or unstable angina in patients who are unable to tolerate or whose symptoms are not relieved by adequate doses of beta-adrenergic blocking agents or organic nitrates. They are generally indicated when vasospastic angina is confirmed by: (a) the classical pattern accompanied by elevation of ST segment; (b) Ergonovine induced angina or coronary artery spasm; or (c) coronary artery spasm demonstrated by angiography, although they may also be used when vasospastic component is indicated but not confirmed (e.g. where pain has variable threshold on exertion or in unstable angina where electrocardiographic findings are compatible with intermittent vasospasm).
Hypertension: Amlodipine is indicated alone or in combination with other agents for treatment of hypertension.
