Adults: For both hypertension and angina, the usual initial dose is 5 mg Alovasc once daily which may be increased to a maximum dose of 10 mg depending on the individual patient's response.
No dose adjustment of Alovasc is required upon concomitant administration of thiazide diuretics, beta blockers and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors.
In children: Not recommended.
In the elderly: Normal dosage regimens are recommended. Amlodipine, used at similar doses in elderly or younger patients, is equally well tolerated.
Patients with hepatic impairment: See Precautions.
Patients with renal impairment: Amlodipine may be used in such patients at normal doses. Changes in amlodipine plasma concentrations are not correlated with degree of renal impairment. Amlodipine is not dialyzable.
