Amloheart 5 mg Tablet

Amloheart 5 mg Tablet contains Amlodipine (5mg). Prescription required.

Treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), chronic stable angina (chest pain), vasospastic (Prinzmetal) angina

Amlodipine is a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker. It relaxes and widens blood vessels by reducing calcium entry into vascular smooth muscle, lowering blood pressure and decreasing heart workload, which helps prevent angina.

Take orally as prescribed, usually once daily at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow tablet with water; do not stop abruptly without medical advice.

Headache, dizziness, flushing, ankle swelling (peripheral edema), fatigue, palpitations, nausea, abdominal pain

May cause dizziness—use caution while driving. Monitor for ankle swelling, low blood pressure, and worsening chest pain when starting or increasing dose. Use with caution in severe aortic stenosis, heart failure, liver impairment (dose adjustment may be needed), and elderly. Do not stop medicine without consulting your doctor.

Other antihypertensives (additive hypotension), simvastatin (limit simvastatin dose when used with amlodipine), strong CYP3A4 inhibitors (e.g., clarithromycin, azole antifungals, ritonavir) may increase amlodipine levels, CYP3A4 inducers (e.g., rifampicin, carbamazepine, phenytoin) may reduce effect, grapefruit juice (may increase levels in some patients)

Store below 25°C in a cool, dry place. Protect from light and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
