Does amlodipine contain titanium dioxide?

Does amlodipine tablets contain titanium dioxide?

Titanium dioxide (TiO2) is sometimes used in drug products as a pigment/colorant, but whether it appears in a specific amlodipine product depends on the manufacturer and the exact tablet strength and formulation. The ingredient list (often in the “inactive ingredients” section) is the way to confirm for the specific package.

How to check whether your exact amlodipine has titanium dioxide

Look for one of these on the bottle/box insert or labeling:
- “Inactive ingredients”
- “Excipients”
- A full tablet composition list

If titanium dioxide is used, it is usually listed by name (“titanium dioxide”) or as the colorant “CI 77891” (the most common identifier for TiO2 in labeling). If it is not listed among inactive ingredients, that particular product is not using it.

What if different strengths or brands list different inactive ingredients?

Inactive ingredients can vary by:
- Tablet strength (e.g., 5 mg vs 10 mg)
- Brand vs generic manufacturer
- Manufacturer’s dye/pigment choices
So two amlodipine products with the same active ingredient can differ in whether titanium dioxide is present.

If you tell me the exact product, I can help you verify

If you share the brand/generic name, strength (e.g., 5 mg), and manufacturer (from the label), I can help you determine how to verify whether that exact amlodipine formulation lists titanium dioxide in its inactive ingredients.
