I have taken this drug for 2 years and the last time I refilled it look completely different. Its much smaller and its a small round pill that has Z3 stamped on one side. I want to make sure it the right pill.

Hello, Dennis! How are you? Sorry about the confusion, I'm happy to help clear this up for you.

Amlodipine is actually a generic medication and once a drug is available as a generic, it is usually manufactured by several different companies, this helps to create market competition to keep prices lower…. but in case of emergency, they are all required to use unique imprints on the tablets, so they can be identified and traced back to the appropriate manufacturer, so in regards to some medications, there could be 10 different tablets available that all contain the same drug in the same dosage.

The one your pharmacy has in stock may change, depending on who was offering the cheapest price, when they needed to restock their supply.

And yes, what you've received is the correct medication, the tablet with that marking is listed in the U.S. prescription drug databases as containing 5mgs of Amlodipine, which is most commonly used to help lower high blood pressure and treat some cardiac conditions.

Is there anything else I can help with?



*Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache and hypotension.
