S-Amlosafe 5 Tablet contains S-amlodipine (5 mg) and works in the body as follows:

• Calcium Ion Inhibition: S-amlodipine works by blocking the influx of calcium ions into the muscle cells found in your blood vessels and heart. This action results in relaxation of these muscles.
• Improved Blood Flow: By relaxing the muscles of your blood vessels, S-amlodipine aids in improving blood flow throughout your body.
• Reduced Blood Pressure: With improved blood flow, there is less resistance against which your heart needs to pump, leading to a reduction in blood pressure.
• Decreased Cardiac Workload: Lowering blood pressure reduces the workload on your heart, which can help prevent conditions such as angina, heart attacks, and strokes.

• Keep S-Amlosafe 5 Tablet in a cool, dry place where the temperature stays below 30°C.
• Shield the medicine from direct sunlight and excessive moisture.
• Ensure the medicine is unreachable by children.
• Always check the expiry date before taking this medication.

• If you are dealing with hypertension, consider reducing your salt intake. Excessive salt can raise blood pressure, which S-Amlosafe 5 Tablet helps to manage.
• To prevent angina or heart-related chest pain, maintain a balanced diet low in saturated fats. These fats increase cholesterol levels, potentially leading to blocked arteries and increased workload on your heart.
