CompositionAmtas 2.5 Tablet is used to control high blood pressure (hypertension) and to prevent the chest pain of angina in adults, including in coronary artery disease. Keeping blood pressure controlled eases the strain on the heart and lowers the risk of heart attack and stroke.
It contains amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that relaxes and widens the blood vessels. It can be taken with or without food, at the same time each day. Continue taking it even when you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
Healthy lifestyle changes support blood pressure control. These include reducing salt in your diet, staying active, keeping to a healthy weight, and limiting alcohol.
Before taking this medicine, tell your doctor about any liver problems or heart failure, and about other medicines you take. Mild ankle swelling is common; report it if it becomes troublesome, along with marked dizziness or flushing.
