what type of medication is amlodipine and what condition does it primarily treat?
○ beta-blocker; hypertension
○ diuretic; edema
○ ace inhibitor; heart failure
○ calcium channel blocker; hypertension, irregular heart rhythms

Explanation:

1. Corticosteroids act on adrenal glands (endocrine), thyroid hormone replacements target thyroid (endocrine), biguanides treat diabetes (endocrine-related). Antihistamines target histamine responses, not the endocrine system.
2. Amlodipine is classified as a calcium channel blocker; its primary uses are managing hypertension and treating certain irregular heart rhythms (like angina-related arrhythmias). The other options misclassify the drug or link it to incorrect conditions.

Answer:

1. B. Antihistamines
2. D. Calcium Channel Blocker; hypertension, irregular heart rhythms
