Description

AMLODIPINE (AMOLAB-5) 5 MG TABLETS (50’s) are a generic form of amlodipine besylate, a calcium channel blocker used to manage 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, which helps lower blood pressure and ease chest pain.

Indications

• Management of angina by improving blood flow and relieving chest discomfort.

Dosage & Administration

• Typical starting dose is 5 mg once daily; dose may be adjusted based on patient response.
• Elderly patients or those with liver impairment may start at a lower dose.

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

• Swelling of ankles or feet (edema)
• Dizziness
