Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Amlodipine (Norvasc) is a calcium channel blocker that can effectively manage hypertension and chronic stable angina pectoris. It has a long half-life, making it a convenient once-daily medication. Felodipine (Plendil) and Nicardipine (Cardene) are also calcium channel blockers but are not as effective at managing angina as amlodipine. Nimodipine (Nimotop) is primarily used for the treatment of subarachnoid hemorrhage and is not indicated for hypertension or angina.
