Elpress 2.5 Tablet 15 may have the following common side effects:

Headache
Fatigue
Nausea
Abdominal pain
Edema
Somnolence: You might feel unusually drowsy or sleepy after taking this medicine.
Flushing: Your skin might turn red and feel hot for a short time.

Managing the Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the use of Elpress 2.5 Tablet 15. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

Here are some general guidelines for managing common side effects:

Edema: If you notice swelling in your ankles, feet, or hands, try taking Elpress 2.5 Tablet 15 at night.
Somnolence: To manage drowsiness caused by this medicine, consider taking it before bedtime.

Elpress 2.5 Tablet 15 contains Amlodipine (2.5 mg), which acts on your body in two main ways:

Reduces Intracellular Calcium: Amlodipine inhibits the entry of calcium ions into muscle cells in your blood vessels and heart, reducing calcium levels within these cells.
Causes Vasodilation: The reduced calcium causes relaxation or widening of blood vessels, which is termed peripheral vasodilation. This leads to decreased resistance in these vessels, ultimately lowering blood pressure. In patients with angina, this lessens the workload on the heart, reducing its need for oxygen and preventing chest pain.

Pregnancy

Caution is advised while taking Elpress 2.5 Tablet 15 if you are pregnant. It is best to consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

Elpress 2.5 Tablet 15 may pass into breast milk. Before using this medicine while breastfeeding, you should discuss the potential risks and benefits with your doctor.
