    Journal: J Assoc Physicians India; 2003 Aug; 51():818-9. PubMed ID: 14651149.
    Abstract:
    Gingival hyperplasia can occur during use of drugs such as diphenylhydantoin, cyclosporine and nifedipine. We report, three cases of gingival hyperplasia induced by amlodipine, a second generation calcium channel blocker. Exact cause of induction of thehyperplasia is not known. Individual variation in metabolism of the drug may be a factor.
