Mechanism of Action
Amlodipine, a dihydropyridine Ca-channel blocker, reduces peripheral vascular resistance and BP by relaxing coronary vascular smooth muscle and coronary vasodilation through inhibition of Ca ion transmembrane influx into cardiac and vascular smooth muscles.
Metoprolol selectively inhibits β1-adrenergic receptors but has little or no effect on β2-receptors except in high doses. It does not exhibit membrane stabilising or intrinsic sympathomimetic activity.
