Can a high blood pressure pill Amlo-5 harm kidneys?

Amlo-5, also known as Amlodipine 5 mg, is a medication commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina).

It belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers.

Amlodipine works by relaxing the blood vessels, which helps lower blood pressure and improve blood flow. In general, Amlodipine is considered to be a well-tolerated medication for most people. It is not known to directly harm the kidneys. 

However, like any medication, there can be potential side effects, and individual responses can vary. 

Some people might experience changes in kidney function while taking Amlodipine, but this is not a common occurrence. 

It's important to note that if you have pre-existing kidney problems or other medical conditions, you should discuss the use of Amlodipine or any medication with your healthcare provider. 

They can help determine if Amlodipine is a suitable option for you and monitor your kidney function regularly if needed.
