Composition of Espin-5

Espin-5 contains S-Amlodipine (5mg). It belongs to the Calcium channel blocker class of medicines.

Uses of Espin-5

Angina (heart-related chest pain) Treatment of Hypertension (high blood pressure) Prevention of Stroke

Benefits of Espin-5

In High blood pressure
Espin-5 relaxes the muscle in the walls of your arteries so blood flows with less pressure. Keeping blood pressure down protects you from stroke, heart attack and kidney damage over the years.
In Angina
Espin-5 widens the vessels that supply the heart and eases its workload, so you get fewer episodes of chest pain and can do more before pain comes on.

How Espin-5 works

Espin 5mg Tablet is a calcium channel blocker. In high blood pressure, it normalizes the blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels to reduce the pressure on them, thereby improving the blood flow in the body. The enhanced blood flow in the body further relaxes the heart muscles by reducing the workload on the heart. It also improves the oxygen flow in the body, thereby, preventing any heart-related chest pain.

How to take Espin-5

Take this medicine in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. Swallow it as a whole. Do not chew, crush or break it. Espin 5mg Tablet may be taken with or without food.

Take it exactly as your doctor prescribed. Do not change the dose or stop early on your own.

Missed dose and overdose

If you miss a dose

If you miss a dose of Espin 5mg Tablet, take it as soon as possible. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go back to your regular schedule. Do not double the dose.

If you take too much

An overdose of this medicine can cause a severe fall in blood pressure and a dangerously slow or irregular heartbeat. Do not wait for symptoms to appear — go to the nearest emergency department and take the pack or strip with you.

Side effects of Espin-5

Most side effects of Espin-5 are mild and settle as the body gets used to the medicine. The ones reported most often are:

  • Swelling of the ankles and feet
  • Flushing
  • Headache
  • Palpitations
  • Dizziness
  • Tiredness

Stop the medicine and get help at once for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
