CompositionAmlogard 5 Tablet is a medicine used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and to prevent chest pain (angina). It works by relaxing blood vessels, enabling blood to flow more easily and reducing the overall strain on the heart.
It contains amlodipine, a long-acting calcium channel blocker. Take it once daily with or without food as prescribed. It is a long-term treatment, so continue taking it regularly even if you feel well, as high blood pressure usually has no outward symptoms.
Adopting a heart-healthy lifestyle is a vital part of blood pressure control. This includes maintaining a low-salt diet, engaging in regular physical exercise, avoiding tobacco, limiting alcohol, and maintaining a healthy body weight.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor if you have severe liver disease, heart failure, or severe low blood pressure. Inform your doctor if you experience persistent ankle swelling or dizziness. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical advice.
