Aforbes Indications/Uses

Amlodipine (Aforbes) is indicated for the treatment of hypertension and can be used as the sole agent to control blood pressure in the majority of patients. Patients not adequately controlled on a single antihypertensive agent may benefit from the addition of amlodipine (Aforbes) which has been used in combination with a thiazide diuretic, beta-adrenoceptor blocking agent, or an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor.
Amlodipine (Aforbes) is indicated for the first-line treatment of myocardial ischemia, whether due to fixed obstruction (stable angina) and/or vasospasm/vasoconstriction (Prinzmetal's or variant angina) of the coronary vasculature. Amlodipine (Aforbes) may be used where the clinical presentation suggests a possible vasospastic/vasoconstrictive component but where vasospasm/vasoconstriction has not been confirmed. Amlodipine (Aforbes) may be used alone, as monotherapy, or in combination with other anti-anginal drugs in patients with angina that is refractory to nitrates and/or adequate doses of beta-blockers.
