Pulse and bp vs bp: In simplest terms...Metoprolol lowers blood pressure and heart rate by counteracting effects of adrenaline. Amlodipine lower bp without affecting heart rate by relaxing smooth muscle in blood vessels and dilating them.

Work differently: Metoprolol is in a class of drugs called beta blockers, and it works to lower blood pressure by lowering a person’s heart rate. It’s also used for controlling chest pain and treating heart failure. Amlodipine is in a class called calcium channel blockers and it lowers blood pressure by expanding the blood vessels, improving congestion. It’s also used to prevent chest pain.
