Contraindications
Hypersensitivity to amlodipine and other dihydropyridine derivatives; severe hypotension; collapse, cardiogenic shock; unstable angina (except Prinzmetal angina); pregnancy and lactation; age 18 years (effectiveness and safety have been established).
Precautions: liver, sick sinus syndrome (bradycardia, tachycardia), chronic heart failure decompensation, mild to moderate arterial hypotension, aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, acute myocardial infarction (and for 1 months after), diabetes mellitus, lipid profile, old age.
Dosage
10 mg
Indications
Arterial hypertension (monotherapy or in combination with other antihypertensive agents).
Angina, vasospastic angina (Prinzmetal’s angina).
Interaction with other drugs
Inhibitors of microsomal oxidation increase the concentration of amlodipine in the blood plasma, increasing the risk of side effects, and inducers of microsomal liver enzymes decrease.
The hypotensive effect of weakening the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, especially indomethacin (sodium retention and renal prostaglandin synthesis block), alpha-adrenostimulyatorov, estrogens (sodium retention), sympathomimetics.
Thiazide and “loop” diuretics, beta-blockers, verapamil, ACE inhibitors and nitrates increase antianginal and antihypertensive effects.
Amiodarone, quinidine, alpha1-adrenergic blockers, antipsychotic drugs (neuroleptics) and blockers “slow” calcium channels may increase the hypotensive action.
No impact on the pharmacokinetic parameters of digoxin and warfarin.
Cimetidine does not affect the pharmacokinetics of amlodipine.
When combined with preparations of lithium may be increased manifestations of neurotoxicity (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, ataxia, tremor, tinnitus).
Calcium blockers can reduce the effect of “slow” calcium channels.
Procainamide, quinidine and other drugs causing prolongation of the interval QT, reinforce the negative inotropic effect and may increase the risk of significant lengthening of the QT interval.
Grapefruit juice may reduce the plasma concentration of amlodipine, but this decrease is so small that it does not significantly alter the effect of amlodipine.
Overdose
Symptoms: marked reduction of blood pressure, tachycardia, excessive peripheral vasodilation.
Treatment: gastric lavage, the appointment of activated carbon, the maintenance of the cardiovascular system, the control parameters of the heart and lung function, control of blood volume and diuresis, giving the patient a horizontal position with raised legs. To restore vascular tone – application of vasoconstrictive drugs (in the absence of contraindications for their use); to eliminate the effects of calcium channel blockade – intravenous calcium gluconate. Hemodialysis is not effective.
pharmachologic effect
Pharmacological group:
BCCI (blocker “slow” calcium channel).
Pharmacodynamics:
Dihydropyridine derivative – blocker “slow” calcium channels II generation, has antianginal and hypotensive action. Communicating with the dihydropyridine receptor, blocks calcium channels, reduces the transmembrane passage of calcium ions into the cell (mainly in vascular smooth muscle cells than cardiac myocytes). Antianginal effect due to the expansion of the coronary and peripheral arteries and arterioles: angina reduces the severity of myocardial ischemia; expanding peripheral arterioles, reducing the total peripheral vascular resistance, reduces preload on the heart, reducing myocardial oxygen demand. Expanding the major coronary arteries and arterioles in the unaltered and ischemic areas of myocardium, increase oxygen supply to the myocardium (especially with vasospastic angina pectoris); It prevents the development of constriction of the coronary arteries (including those caused by smoking). In patients with angina single daily dose increases the run-time physical activity slows the development of angina and “ischemic” ST segment depression, reduces the frequency of angina attacks and nitroglycerin consumption.
It has a long dose-dependent hypotensive effect. Hypotensive effect caused by the direct vasodilating effect on vascular smooth muscle. When hypertension single dose provides a clinically significant decrease in blood pressure (BP) for 24 hours (in the position of the patient “lying” and “standing”). Does not cause a sharp decrease in blood pressure, reduction of exercise tolerance, left ventricular ejection fraction. Reduces the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy, antiatherosclerotic and cardioprotective effect in ischemic heart disease (CHD). No effect on the myocardial contractility and conductivity, does not cause reflex increase of heart rate (HR), inhibits platelet aggregation and increases glomerular filtration rate, has a weak natriuretic action. In diabetic nephropathy does not increase the severity of microalbuminuria. It does not have adverse effects on lipid metabolism and blood plasma. Time of onset of effect – 2-4 hours, duration of effect of 24 hours.
Pharmacokinetics:
After oral administration of amlodipine slowly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract. Mean absolute bioavailability is 64%, the maximum concentration in serum is observed after 6-9 hours. The concentration of stable equilibrium is reached after 7 days of treatment. Food does not affect the absorption of amlodipine. The mean volume of distribution of 21 l / kg of body weight, indicating that most of the drug is in the tissues, and relatively smaller – in the blood. Most of the drug present in the blood (95%), binds to plasma proteins.
Amlodipine undergoes slow but extensive metabolism (90%) in the liver into inactive metabolites, has the effect of “first pass” through the liver. Metabolites not possess significant pharmacological activity.
After a single oral half-life (T1 / 2) ranges from 31 to 48 hours on repeated administration of T1 / 2 of approximately 45 hours. About 60% of an oral dose is excreted in the urine primarily as metabolites, 10% unchanged, and 20-25% of the feces, as well as in breast milk. Total Amlodipine clearance is 0.116 ml / sec / kg (7 mL / min / kg, 0.42 L / h / kg).
In elderly patients (over 65 years) the excretion of amlodipine slowed down (T1 / 2 of 65 hours) compared to younger patients, but this difference has no clinical significance. Patients with liver failure elongation assumed T1 / 2, and with long-term administration drug accumulation in the body is higher (T1 / 2 to 60 hours). Renal failure does not significantly affect the kinetics of amlodipine. The drug penetrates the blood-brain barrier. When hemodialysis is not removed.
