Amlodipine's safety in pregnancy has not been established, although reproductive toxicity at high doses is known. Whether amlodipine enters the milk of breastfeeding mothers is also unknown. [7] [6] Those who have heart failure, or recently had a heart attack, should take amlodipine with caution. [29]
Because of the negative inotropic effects, the nondihydropyridine calcium channel blockers should be avoided (or used with caution) in individuals with cardiomyopathy. [35] Unlike beta blockers, calcium channel blockers do not decrease the responsiveness of the heart to input from the sympathetic nervous system.

[43] They are no longer indicated as first-line therapy for high blood pressure due to side effects and safety concerns, but hydralazine remains a drug of choice in gestational hypertension .
Lisinopril/amlodipine, sold under the brand name Lisonorm among others, is a medication used to treat high blood pressure. [1] It is a combination of lisinopril an ACE inhibitor with amlodipine a calcium channel blocker. [1] It may be used when blood pressure is not well controlled with each of the two agents alone. [4] It is taken by mouth. [1]
