A member asked:
Could you explain what amlodipine does to help with high blood pressure and why it's important that i dont miss a dose?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dilation: Amlodipine dilates the arteries which lowers the blood pressure. If you miss a dose the arteries start constricting and raise the blood pressure.
