AMLODE 10
Product Description
AMLODE 10 tablet contains AMLODIPINE, a dihydropyridine calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), chronic stable angina, and certain coronary artery disease conditions. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, which improves blood flow and reduces the workload on the heart. AMLODE 10 tablet is commonly available in strengths such as 2.5 mg, 5 mg, and 10 mg, with the exact dose based on blood pressure levels, age, and associated heart conditions. Regular use helps lower the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney damage linked to uncontrolled hypertension. It is usually taken once daily and is suitable for long-term blood pressure management under medical supervision.
Pharmacist Note
Take AMLODE 10 tablet once daily at the same time each day, with or without food, to maintain steady blood pressure control. Do not stop it suddenly even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Mild ankle swelling can occur, so discuss persistent swelling or dizziness with your doctor.
