A wide variety of medications are used to treat high blood pressure. Amlodipine is in a class of medications called "calcium channel blockers". They work to lower blood pressure by allowing your blood vessels to relax and open up so that they are not as tight. They are called calcium channel blockers because they block calcium, something the muscles in your blood vessels need to contract.
Diuretics or "water pills" are also used to treat blood pressure. They lower blood pressure by getting rid of extra fluid so the heart doesn't have as much volume to move. Most people being treated for high blood pressure will be on more than one medication. It is perfectly OK to take your prescription diuretic that has been prescribed to you by your healthcare professional with your amlodipine.
