Amlodipine

Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It is prescribed for high blood pressure and angina (chest pain). Below you will find how it is used, how it works, its possible side effects and the brands of Amlodipine you can order online from Sargodha.

What is Amlodipine used for?

Amlodipine is taken once daily to lower high blood pressure and to prevent chest pain (angina). Keeping blood pressure under control reduces the long-term risk of stroke, heart attack and kidney damage.

How Amlodipine works

Amlodipine relaxes and widens the blood vessels by blocking calcium from entering the muscle cells in their walls. Wider vessels let blood flow with less effort, so pressure drops and the heart works more easily.

Side effects of Amlodipine

Many people take Amlodipine without any trouble. When side effects do occur they are usually mild, and may include:

• Swollen ankles or feet
• Flushing or warmth in the face
• Headache
• Dizziness
• Tiredness

Seek urgent help for chest pain that gets worse, fainting, a very fast or irregular heartbeat, or swelling of the face or lips.

Before you take Amlodipine

• Keep taking it even when you feel fine; high blood pressure often has no symptoms.
• Rise slowly from sitting or lying to avoid dizziness.
• Tell your doctor if you have liver disease or severe heart problems.
• Avoid large amounts of grapefruit juice.
• Discuss use with your doctor if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
