Amlodipine
This calcium channel blocker relaxes the walls of blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and lowering blood pressure. It is prescribed for hypertension and chest pain, and some research suggests potential roles in neurological and heart rhythm conditions.

The combination of amlodipine and lisinopril provides complementary antihypertensive mechanisms and may cause additive hypotension, particularly with initial dosing.
Amlodipine weakly inhibits CYP3A4-mediated atorvastatin metabolism, leading to a modest increase in atorvastatin exposure; the combination is generally used safely in clinical practice.
Doxycycline is reported to modestly inhibit CYP3A4, potentially increasing amlodipine plasma levels; the clinical consequence is minor given amlodipine's wide therapeutic index.
Amlodipine inhibits CYP3A4-mediated simvastatin metabolism, increasing simvastatin plasma concentrations and the risk of statin-associated myopathy and rhabdomyolysis.
Cyclosporine inhibits CYP3A4-mediated amlodipine metabolism, increasing amlodipine plasma concentrations and the risk of pronounced vasodilation and peripheral edema.
