Used For:
- Ampress 10mg Tablets are commonly used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina). By relaxing blood vessels, amlodipine helps lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart.
Dosage:
- The typical starting dose of Ampress 10mg Tablets for hypertension is 5mg once daily, which can be increased to a maximum dose of 10mg once daily if necessary. For angina, the usual dose is 5mg to 10mg once daily.
- Dosage adjustments may be necessary based on individual response and tolerability, and it's essential to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage.
Side Effects:
- Common side effects of amlodipine may include:
- Swelling in the ankles or feet
- Flushing
- Dizziness
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Less common side effects may include palpitations, nausea, abdominal pain, and skin rash. In rare cases, amlodipine can cause more severe side effects such as allergic reactions, irregular heartbeat, or liver problems.
Precautions:
- Inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially heart disease, liver disease, or a history of allergic reactions to medications.
- Inform your doctor about all other medications you are taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements, as they may interact with amlodipine.
- Avoid consuming grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking amlodipine, as it can increase the levels of the medication in your blood and lead to potentially harmful side effects.
- Do not stop taking amlodipine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as it may lead to a sudden increase in blood pressure or other complications.
Always take Ampress 10mg Tablets exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor promptly. It's essential to attend regular check-ups to monitor your blood pressure and overall health while taking amlodipine.
