Product Description

Product Name: Amrx Tablets 10mg

Product Form: Tablets

Pack Size: 20's

Manufactured By: Siza International

Used For:

  • Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): Effective at lowering blood pressure, which reduces the risk of stroke, heart attack, and kidney problems.
  • Angina (Chest Pain): Helps relieve chest pain by increasing blood flow to the heart, making it useful for stable angina and certain cases of coronary artery disease.
  • Coronary Artery Disease: May be used to prevent heart-related complications in patients with coronary artery disease.

Side Effects:

  • Common Side Effects:
    • Peripheral Edema (Swelling): Especially in the legs and ankles.
    • Dizziness and Lightheadedness: Due to blood pressure lowering, particularly when starting the medication.
    • Flushing: A feeling of warmth, often in the face, neck, or chest.
    • Fatigue: Mild tiredness or weakness is sometimes reported.
  • Less Common but Serious Side Effects:
    • Hypotension (Low Blood Pressure): Can cause fainting, particularly if dose adjustments are needed.
    • Palpitations or Fast Heart Rate (Tachycardia): Unusual but possible.
    • Liver Dysfunction: Rarely, can cause elevated liver enzymes.

Precautions:

  • Monitoring for Edema: Peripheral edema is common and can be bothersome for some patients, especially at higher doses.
  • Caution with Low Blood Pressure: People with low baseline blood pressure should be monitored closely, as amlodipine can cause further reductions.
  • Avoid Grapefruit and Grapefruit Juice: Grapefruit can increase blood levels of amlodipine, potentially leading to more pronounced side effects.
  • Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Amlodipine is generally not recommended during pregnancy unless necessary, and its use in breastfeeding requires careful consideration and consultation.
  • Drug Interactions: Caution with other blood pressure medications, especially other calcium channel blockers, as it can amplify blood pressure-lowering effects.
