amlodipine and Iron Overload

amlodipine has been researched along with Iron Overload in 13 studies

Amlodipine: A long-acting dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It is effective in the treatment of ANGINA PECTORIS and HYPERTENSION.
amlodipine : A fully substituted dialkyl 1,4-dihydropyridine-3,5-dicarboxylate derivative, which is used for the treatment of hypertension, chronic stable angina and confirmed or suspected vasospastic angina.

Iron Overload: An excessive accumulation of iron in the body due to a greater than normal absorption of iron from the gastrointestinal tract or from parenteral injection. This may arise from idiopathic hemochromatosis, excessive iron intake, chronic alcoholism, certain types of refractory anemia, or transfusional hemosiderosis. (From Churchill's Illustrated Medical Dictionary, 1989)

"The use of amlodipine in conjunction with standard chelation therapy may suggest a new strategy in preventing and treating iron overload in patients with thalassemia major, especially in organs where iron absorption depends on active uptake by calcium channels like the heart."9.17Amlodipine reduces cardiac iron overload in patients with thalassemia major: a pilot trial.

( Aggarwal, P; Agrawal, V; Gupta, V; Kumar, I; Raj, V, 2022)
"Our meta-analysis found that amlodipine significantly increases cardiac T2* and decreases MIC, hence decreasing the incidence of cardiomyopathy-related iron overload in thalassemia patients."5.41Efficacy and safety of calcium channel blockers in preventing cardiac siderosis in thalassemia patients: An updated meta-analysis with trial sequential analysis.
