can amlodipine raise blood sugar?

Conclusion: The present study shows that amlodipine causes hyperglycemia in normal rabbits. Amlodipine significantly altered hypoglycemic effect of glimepiride and metformin as compared to control group.

Amlodipine is used with or without other medications to treat high blood pressure. Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. Amlodipine belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It works by relaxing blood vessels so blood can flow more easily.

Amlodipine is a medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension). If you have high blood pressure, taking amlodipine helps prevent future heart disease, heart attacks and strokes. Amlodipine is also used to prevent chest pain caused by heart disease (angina).

In insulin-dependent diabetics, beta-blockers can prolong, enhance, or alter the symptoms of hypoglycemia, while hyperglycemia appears to be the major risk in noninsulin-dependent diabetics. beta-blockers can potentially increase blood glucose concentrations and antagonize the action of oral hypoglycemic drugs.

Both amlodipine and metoprolol significantly increased total exercise time, total workload, time to onset of angina and time to 1 mm ST-depression with no significant differences between the drugs. Amlodipine was significantly more efficient than metoprolol in reducing ST-depression at maximum workload.

Equally common is lisinopril, a drug in the angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEI) family (most end in “-pril”). It interferes with a chemical signal in the body that would otherwise increase blood pressure. Amlodipine, which is used by 17 percent of hypertension patients, is a calcium channel blocker.

Amlodipine causes vasodilatation of the arterioles and not venules causing increased capillary hydrostatic pressures leading to edema. Schematic diagram showing mechanism of cilnidipine. It causes vasodilatation of the arterioles venules by decreasing sympathetic mediated vasoconstriction by N type calcium channels.

However, lisinopril was associated with an increased risk for heart failure (relative risk [RR] for African Americans=1.32; 95% CI, 1.11–1.58) and stroke (RR for African Americans=1.4; 95% CI, 1.17–1.68), and amlodipine was associated with a higher risk of heart failure (RR in African Americans=1.47; 95% CI, 1.24–1.74) ...

Amlodipine can be used to treat hypertension and chest pain (angina) from coronary artery disease. On the other hand, hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic (or water pill) and increases how much fluid your body releases in urine.

In hypertensive patients not controlled on prior BB and ACEI/ARB therapy, addition of (S)-amlodipine besylate at half the dose of conventional amlodipine provides better tolerability with reduced incidence of peripheral edema, and equal antihypertensive efficacy compared to amlodipine given at usual doses.

This product is a combination of two drugs: a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine) and an ACE inhibitor (benazepril). It is used to treat high blood pressure.

Amlodipine and atorvastatin is a combination of a calcium channel blocker and HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor (statin). Amlodipine is used alone or together with other medicines to treat angina (chest pain) or high blood pressure. High blood pressure adds to the workload of the heart and arteries.

What is amlodipine, hydrochlorothiazide, and olmesartan? Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker that relaxes (widens) blood vessels and improves blood flow. Hydrochlorothiazide is a thiazide diuretic (water pill) that helps prevent your body from absorbing too much salt, which can cause fluid retention.

Amlodipine and lisinopril should not cause kidney damage and in fact are used to treat high blood pressure and slow the progression of chronic kidney disease (CKD).
