The safety and efficacy of Amlodipine in hypertensive crisis has not been established. Patients with cardiac failure Patients with heart failure should be treated with caution. In a long-term, placebo controlled study in patients with severe heart failure (NYHA class III and IV) the reported incidence of pulmonary oedema was higher in the Amlodipine treated group than in the placebo group (see section 5.1). Calcium channel blockers, including Amlodipine, should be used with caution in patients with congestive heart failure, as they may increase the risk of future cardiovascular events and mortality. Patients with hepatic impairment The half-life of Amlodipine is prolonged and AUC values are higher in patients with impaired liver function; dosage recommendations have not been established. Aml …

… mlodipine with grapefruit or grapefruit juice is not recommended as bioavailability may be increased in some patients resulting in increased blood pressure lowering effects. Dantrolene (infusion) In animals, lethal ventricular fibrillation and cardiovascular collapse are observed in association with hyperkalemia after administration of verapamil and intravenous dantrolene. Due to risk of hyperkalemia, it is recommended that the co-administration of calcium channel blockers such as Amlodipine be avoided in patients susceptible to malignant hyperthermia and in the management of malignant hyperthermia. Effects of Amlodipine on other medicinal products The blood pressure lowering effects of Amlodipine adds to the blood pressure-lowering effects of other medicinal products with antihypertensive p …
