Key points

  • Amlodipine does not replace emergency treatment for new or worsening chest pain.
  • Fainting, severe breathlessness or signs of a heart attack or stroke needs emergency care.

Select a listed product and pack to order online. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether it suits you.

Important safety checks

Blood pressure, liver disease, heart failure, severe valve disease and other blood-pressure medicines require review. Do not stop long-term treatment solely because a reading improves.

When to seek urgent care

Seek emergency help for crushing chest pain, sudden breathlessness, facial droop, one-sided weakness, speech difficulty, collapse or facial swelling with breathing difficulty.
