Background: Calcium-channel blockers (CCB) are a mainstay in the management of hypertension (HTN), and amlodipine is the preferred CCB due
Drug-drug interactions. Amlodipine and other CCBs used in treating hypertension and angina (dihydropyridines CCBs) interact with diltiazem and

Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide. Telmisartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) and Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker (CCB).

CCBs: Both dihydropyridine (amlodipine) and nondihydropyridine CCBs (diltiazem, verapamil) have been shown to have meaningful drug interactions
calcium channel blockers (CCBs), and diuretic agents. For each of these Presently, the most commonly prescribed CCB is amlodipine; it is available
This is generally how all CCBs work, but there are some differences, too. Dihydropyridine vs. non-dihydropyridine CCBs. There are two main types of CCBs: dihydropyridine and non-dihydropyridine. Most CCBs are known as dihydropyridine CCBs. These are the ones that end in ipine, as in amlodipine.
