Calcium-channel blocking drug. Amlodipine is a calcium-channel blocker of the dihydropyridine class. It decreases calcium influx in cardiac and vascular smooth muscle. Its greatest effect is on vascular smooth muscle, acting as a vasodilator. Hypertension in cats has been defined as systolic blood pressure >190 mm Hg and diastolic pressure >120 mm Hg.
In cats and dogs it is used to treat systemic hypertension (high blood pressure). Amlodipine is considered the drug of choice by many clinicians for treating hypertension in cats. By comparison, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors are less effective in cats. Amlodipine may improve survival in cats with hypertensive kidney disease. In cats, addition of a beta blocker to slow heart rate may also be beneficial.
