Episode description

On this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology Podcast, I discuss amlodipine pharmacology, adverse effects, and important drug interactions. I break down why edema occurs with amlodipine on this episode of the Real Life Pharmacology podcast. While beta-blockers are typically the first-line agent for the prevention of chronic angina symptoms, CCBs like amlodipine can be used as an alternative. There are some potential CYP3A4 interactions with amlodipine. I discuss the severity of these interactions and how to monitor patients.
