A diuretic is any drug that increases the flow of urine. However, diuretics can be prescribed to those with high blood pressure because they do thin the blood.

Does amlodipine have a diuretic in it?

No, amlodipine does not contain a diuretic. Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker used primarily to treat high blood pressure and angina. It works by relaxing blood vessels to improve blood flow, but it does not have the diuretic effect that helps remove excess fluid from the body. If a diuretic is needed, it is typically prescribed separately.
