AMLEOD H
Product Description
AMLEOD H tablet contains AMLODIPINE + HYDROCHLOROTHIAZIDE, a prescription antihypertensive combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) when a single medicine alone does not provide adequate control. It combines a calcium channel blocker with a thiazide diuretic (water tablet). The amlodipine component relaxes and widens blood vessels, while the diuretic component helps remove excess salt and water through urine, together producing better blood pressure reduction. AMLEOD H tablet is commonly available in strengths such as 5 mg/12.5 mg and 5 mg/25 mg, with the exact dose adjusted according to blood pressure response, kidney status, and electrolyte levels. Regular use helps reduce the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney complications from uncontrolled hypertension.
Pharmacist Note
Take AMLEOD H tablet exactly as prescribed, preferably at the same time every day. Because it contains a diuretic, morning use is often preferred to reduce nighttime urination. Drink adequate water unless your doctor has advised fluid restriction, and keep follow-up blood pressure and potassium tests as scheduled.
