ASSIGNMENT 3 4Amlodipine belongs to the class of medicine called calcium channel blockers (Mir et al. 2012).Mechanism of ActionAmlodipine is an enantioselective calcium channel blocker which denied movement ofcalcium ions into cardiac muscle cells and vascular smooth muscles hence inhibiting contractionof these muscles hence relaxing blood vessels so that the heart does not need to pump hard hencehelps in lowering blood pressure (Phan, Dayspring & Toth, 2012).c) Side effects of Losartan and AmlodipineAmlodipine1. Swelling of the leg and ankles – This swelling is brought about by the reduced pressure that causes edema.2. Tiredness and experiencing extreme sleepiness – This can be attributed to the fact that low pressures lead to less muscle and tissue perfusion hence reduced functionality (Mir et al. 2012).Losartan1. Muscle cramps – Muscle cramps are due to the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue which results in renal failure.2.
