Amlodipine 10mg Tablets (28 Tablets) are designed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and treat angina (chest pain). As a calcium channel blocker, Amlodipine helps relax the blood vessels, enabling the heart to pump blood more effectively, which helps reduce the overall workload on the heart. This reduces the risk of serious conditions such as heart attacks and strokes. The 10mg dose is typically recommended for individuals whose blood pressure is not sufficiently controlled by lower doses.
The 28-tablet pack provides a month’s supply of 10mg Amlodipine tablets, to be taken once daily, with or without food. By taking the medication regularly, individuals can effectively lower and maintain their blood pressure levels over time. For those suffering from angina, Amlodipine also helps in improving blood flow and reducing the frequency and severity of chest pain episodes.
Common side effects may include swelling of the legs, dizziness, and flushing, although most of these side effects are mild and tend to subside with continued use. Serious side effects are rare but can include low blood pressure, fast or irregular heartbeats, and chest pain. It is important to seek medical attention if you experience any concerning symptoms.
Before starting Amlodipine, it is crucial to consult your doctor, especially if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking other medications. Amlodipine should be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan that may include lifestyle changes, such as diet and exercise. Always follow the prescribed dosage and attend regular check-ups to monitor the effectiveness of the medication.
