What Is The Dosage Of Amlodipine?
I am an otherwise healthy 65 year old male, who just recently developed high blood pressure. My doctor prescribed 5mg. Of Amlodipine which seems to be working with no side affects. However it brought the bp down to roughly 140/90. Would a higher dosage help more? Keith Whinnery

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would like to tell you that dosage of blood pressure medicine depends on your blood pressure how high it is.
If your blood pressure is under 140/90, then you should continue with the same dose of Amlodipine. Taking higher dose than this can cause you hypotension so higher dose as of now isn't recommended for you as of now.
Hope to have been helpful.
