Abstract

Lipids and lipoprotein levels were determined in the plasma of 20 adult hypertensive patients, after 12 weeks treatment with amlodipine. No significant variation was observed in the mean values of the lipids and lipoprotein fractions before and after amlodipine treatment for the patients on either 5 mg or 10 mg of amlodipine. A further long-term study has been suggested in order to confirm the inertness of amlodipine on lipids and lipoprotein metabolism.
