[The assessment of glucose tolerance in hypertensive subjects treated with amlodipine].
The authors studied the side effects of amlodipine on glucose metabolism, carrying out an oral glucose tolerance test before and after 8-10 days of treatment, in a group of subjects with normal glucose tolerance. No significant variation in the average plasma glucose and insulin levels was observed. Nevertheless, in some cases, during amlodipine therapy, a decrease in glucose plasma level was found.
