I am not a doctor, but amlodipine is a a calcium channel blocker. It blocks calcium from flowing into muscles in order for blood vessels to dilate. Omeprazole blocks stomach acid, thereby blocking calcium from being absorbed into the body. (Osteoporosis is a major side effect of taking omeprazole.) So why would one take amlodipine if the calcium is blocked from the body with omeprazole in the first place?
