Uses:
DIPART 5 is primarily used for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure) and for the treatment of angina (chest pain). It helps in reducing the risk of heart-related complications.
Indications:
Essential hypertension (high blood pressure)
Angina pectoris (chest pain due to reduced blood flow to the heart)
Management of coronary artery disease
Mechanism of Action:
Amlodipine: It is a calcium channel blocker that works by inhibiting the influx of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle and cardiac muscle. This relaxation of blood vessels leads to decreased peripheral vascular resistance and reduced blood pressure. It helps improve blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscles.

The usual starting dose is 5 mg once daily.
