Ingredients of amlodipine?

What’s in amlodipine tablets (active ingredient vs. other ingredients)?

Amlodipine’s active ingredient is amlodipine (commonly as amlodipine besylate in tablets). The “ingredients of amlodipine” can also include inactive ingredients (excipients) such as fillers, binders, and coatings, but those vary by brand/manufacturer and by strength. For that reason, the exact inactive-ingredient list is best confirmed on the specific product’s label or prescribing information.

What’s the active ingredient called?

In most prescription products, the active drug is amlodipine, usually listed chemically as amlodipine besylate (or less commonly other salts depending on the product).

How do I find the exact ingredient list for my specific amlodipine?

Check the package insert (or the “Inactive ingredients” section on the label) for your:
- Brand name (e.g., Norvasc vs. generics)
- Strength (for example, 2.5 mg, 5 mg, 10 mg)
- Formulation (tablet vs. other dosage forms)

If you share the brand name and strength from your bottle, I can help you identify what’s listed for that specific product’s ingredients.
