Levamlodipine is the S-enantiomer of amlodipine, a long-acting calcium channel blocker used primarily for the treatment of hypertension and angina pectoris. It is currently approved and marketed in several countries for cardiovascular indications, being considered to have similar efficacy but potentially better side effect profile than racemic amlodipine.
