Calcium channel blocker amlodipine besylate therapy is associated with reduced case fatality rate of COVID-19 patients with hypertension

Calcium channel blocker overdose: Experience with amlodipine

Amlodipine overdose is only scarcely reported from India. We report two cases of near fatal Amlodipine overdose managed in our ICU with fluid, vasopressors, calcium infusion and Glucagon. Literature is reviewed and other treatment modalities discussed.

Case report: drug-induced gingival overgrowth associated with the use of a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine).

INTRODUCTION Many factors can contribute to the development of gingival overgrowth (hyperplasia), including: plaque control; periodontal variables; medications and their relative dose; age; sex; and, genetic factors. Nifedipine is a calcium channel blocker commonly reported to result in drug-induced gingival overgrowth (DIGO). This report outlines a case of gingival overgrowth induced by amlodi...

Spermatogenesis following discontinuation of calcium channel blocker amlodipine in rats.

BACKGROUND The calcium channel blockers are commonly associated with male infertility. Long-term administration of such drugs has been shown to suppress spermatogenesis. The present study was designed to determine the effects of cessation of calcium channel blocker (amlodipine) medication on spermatogenesis. METHODS The study was carried out in the Department of Physiology, in collaboration w...

Complexation of Amlodipine Besylate with β-Cyclodextrin.

In this paper the procedure for the preparation of inclusion compounds of bioactive substance 2-[(2-aminoetoxy)-methyl]-4-(2-chlorophenyl)-1,4-dihydro-6-methyl-3,5-pyridine dicarboxylic acid 3-ethyl-5-methyl esterbenzene sulfonate, called amlodipine besylate with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and their structural characterization was described. Molecular inclusion compound of amlodipine besylate is obt...
