Effective control of blood pressure is usually achieved only with the use of two or more antihypertensive medications
At the end of the study, several metabolic variables differed significantly from baseline to final visit between treatment regimens; triglycerides and glucose had a
Recent clinical trials suggest that the approach of using monotherapy for the control of hypertension is not likely to be successful in most patients
Treatment with amlodipine and diltiazem resulted in an improvement in total exercise time, time to angina and total work, mean ST-segment deviation at maximum common load
And Diltiazem decreases heart rate by depressing AV Node and thus provide more protection

Pharmacokinetic data suggest a minor increase in statin exposure with coadministration of amlodipine and lovastatin or simvastatin, and combination therapy may be considered
When taken together, diltiazem increases the levels of these statins in your body
Calcium channel blockers are a heterogeneous group of drugs that have enhanced our ability to concurrently control blood pressure, treat coronary artery disease, and avoid many of the side effects of previously available antihypertensive agents
High blood pressure often has no Calcium channel blockers should generally be avoided in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) since they provide no functional or mortality benefit and some first generation agents may worsen outcomes [ 1 ]
The decreases in standing diastolic blood pressures from baseline were significantly greater with amlodipine than with diltiazem at 2, 4, and 8 weeks of treatment but not at 6 weeks of treatment
Immediate-release diltiazem tablets are usually taken three or four times a day
