Amax 10mg Tablets - Amlodipine for Hypertension & Angina - 30 Tablets
Amax 10mg Tablets are an effective treatment for hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain). Each tablet contains 10mg of Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that helps relax and widen blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. This medication is commonly prescribed to treat both primary hypertension and angina pectoris, reducing the heart's workload and improving overall circulation.
Amlodipine works by inhibiting calcium ions from entering smooth muscle cells in the blood vessels and heart, which reduces blood pressure and the heart's oxygen demand, making it useful for both chronic hypertension and episodes of chest pain.
It is essential to use this medication according to your doctor’s instructions to effectively manage blood pressure and reduce the frequency of angina attacks. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advised during treatment to ensure optimal dosing.
How to Use Amax 10mg Tablets
Take one tablet of Amax 10mg once a day, preferably at the same time each day, with or without food. Swallow the tablet whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew. For optimal results, maintain a healthy diet, exercise, and follow your doctor’s advice to manage hypertension effectively.
Precautions
Before taking Amax 10mg, inform your healthcare provider if you have a history of heart disease, liver problems, or kidney issues. Amlodipine may cause dizziness or light-headedness, especially when standing up quickly, so be cautious. It is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless advised by your doctor. Always discuss any current medications with your healthcare provider to avoid potential interactions.
Possible Side Effects
Common side effects may include swelling of the feet or ankles, dizziness, fatigue, or palpitations. Rarely, patients may experience serious side effects such as chest pain, irregular heartbeat, or fainting. If you experience any severe side effects, seek medical attention immediately.
