Amodep 5mg Strip Of 15 Tablets
Description
Amodep AT Tablet is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and helps in preventing complications like heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems caused by uncontrolled blood pressure. It is also prescribed for angina pectoris, a type of chest pain that occurs due to reduced blood flow to the heart. Regular use of this medicine, along with lifestyle changes, can help you maintain a healthy blood pressure.
The active ingredient in Amodep AT Tablet is amlodipine, a medication that belongs to a class of medications called antihypertensives. Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. This reduces the workload on your heart and lowers blood pressure, helping you feel healthier and reducing the risk of heart-related complications.
Take Amodep AT Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip doses, and try to take it at the same time each day for optimal results. Your doctor will decide the correct dose and duration of treatment based on your condition, age, and response to therapy.
Along with taking Amodep AT Tablet, lifestyle modifications such as eating a low-salt diet, maintaining a healthy weight, exercising regularly, avoiding smoking, and limiting alcohol intake are important for effective blood pressure management. Always inform your doctor about other medications, supplements, or health conditions you have before starting this medicine.
Although Amodep AT Tablet is generally well-tolerated, some people may experience mild side effects, such as dizziness, headache, swelling of the ankles or feet, or flushing. If you notice severe symptoms such as fainting, chest pain, or an irregular heartbeat, contact your doctor immediately. Regular monitoring of blood pressure helps in assessing the effectiveness of the treatment.
