Description

AMLODIPINE (AMLOTRUST) 5 MG TABLETS (30’s) are a generic form of amlodipine besylate, a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and stable angina (chest pain). Each tablet contains 5 mg of amlodipine. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, improving blood flow and reducing the heart’s workload. This helps to lower blood pressure and relieve chest pain.

Indications

• Treatment of hypertension to reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage.
• Relief of angina by improving blood flow and reducing chest discomfort.

Dosage & Administration

• The usual starting dose is 5 mg once daily, which may be increased to 10 mg based on patient response.
• Elderly patients or those with liver impairment may start with a lower dose of 2.5 mg once daily.

Take the medication consistently at the same time daily, with or without food.

Side Effects

Common side effects include:

• Swelling of ankles or feet (edema)
• Dizziness
• Flushing
• Fatigue
• Palpitations (awareness of heartbeat)

These side effects are generally mild and often improve over time. Consult a healthcare provider if symptoms persist or worsen.

Precautions

• Avoid if allergic to amlodipine or similar calcium channel blockers.
• Use cautiously in patients with liver problems.
• Consult a healthcare provider if pregnant or breastfeeding.
• Inform your doctor about all medications to avoid interactions.
