Amlodip 5 Tablet 10

Amlodip 5 Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and chest pain (angina). This medicine helps relaxing the blood vessels, which improves blood flow and reduces the heart’s workload. By controlling blood pressure, it helps lower the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other heart-related complications.

Amlodip 5 Tablet is taken orally.

Amlodip 5 Tablet contains amlodipine (5 mg) and works in the following ways on the body:

• Calcium Channel Blocker: Amlodipine inhibits the movement of calcium ions into vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells. Calcium ions play a key role in muscle contraction, so blocking them helps these cells relax.

• Blood Vessel Relaxation: By relaxing the cells in the walls of your blood vessels, amlodipine reduces resistance within these vessels and eases the flow of blood.

• Decreases Heart Workload: As it reduces resistance in the blood vessels, your heart doesn't have to work as hard to pump blood around your body. This effectively manages hypertension and prevents angina.

• Store Amlodip 5 Tablet at room temperature, ideally between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius.

• Keep it away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.

• Avoid damp areas; moisture can affect the medicine.

• Always keep Amlodip 5 Tablet out of reach of children.

• Ensure you use this medicine before its expiration date.

• Reduce your salt intake: High salt levels can raise your blood pressure, making hypertension harder to control. Try to limit processed foods, which often contain high amounts of hidden salts.

• Limit consumption of grapefruit: This fruit can interact with Amlodip 5 Tablet, potentially increasing the risk of side effects. Try other fruits like apples, bananas, or berries instead.
