CompositionCalchek 5 Tablet 10 is used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and to relieve and prevent angina (chest pain). It is a single-ingredient calcium channel blocker medicine containing amlodipine.
This medicine relaxes and widens the blood vessels so blood can flow more easily and the heart does not have to work as hard, which helps lower the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Reducing salt in your diet, staying physically active, maintaining a healthy weight and limiting alcohol can support better blood pressure control alongside this medicine.
Before starting, tell your doctor about any liver, kidney or heart problems, and whether you are pregnant or breastfeeding, and about all other medicines you take. Mild swelling of the ankles, flushing or headache can occur, especially at first, and usually settles; tell your doctor if ankle swelling becomes troublesome.
