AMLODIPINE 10 mg – 1 Box (30 Tablets)

Active Ingredient: Amlodipine besylate 10 mg
Pack Size: 30 tablets
Therapeutic Class: Calcium Channel Blocker (Antihypertensive / Anti-anginal)

Description

Amlodipine 10 mg is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina (chest pain). It helps relax and widen blood vessels, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and improving blood flow throughout the body.

Uses

• Hypertension (high blood pressure)
• Chronic stable angina
• Vasospastic (Prinzmetal’s) angina
• Prevention of cardiovascular complications associated with elevated blood pressure

How It Works

Amlodipine inhibits calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle cells, causing blood vessels to dilate. This lowers blood pressure and reduces the heart’s workload.

Dosage

• Usual adult dose: 5–10 mg once daily.
• 10 mg is commonly the maximum recommended daily dose for most adults.
• Can be taken with or without food.
• Take at the same time each day as directed by your healthcare provider.

Common Side Effects

• Swelling of the ankles, feet, or legs (peripheral edema)
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Flushing

Important Precautions

• Use cautiously in patients with severe liver impairment.
• Monitor blood pressure regularly.
• Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking.
• Do not discontinue treatment without medical advice.

Product Summary
