Prescribed With Amlodipine Besylate For Blood Pressure. Suggest The Right Medication?

Posted on Wed, 4 Sep 2013

Question: I have a prescription for amlodipine besylate, 5 mg. for blood pressure.The previous bottle had oval pills. The new prescription has a round pill with looks like I P 7 on the pill. That doesn't show up in the pictures on the pill identifier, and I want to be sure I was given the right medicine.
