Amdipine 5mg Tablet: Managing Blood Pressure and Angina
Amdipine 5mg tablets contain amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker that serves a dual purpose in managing blood pressure and treating angina. Let’s explore the key details:
Uses:
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure):
Amdipine helps lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. This reduction in vascular resistance eases the workload on the heart.
Lowering blood pressure is essential to reduce the risk of stroke and heart attack.
Angina (Chest Pain):
Amdipine improves blood flow to the heart muscle by dilating coronary arteries.
It alleviates chest pain associated with angina, but it does not stop chest pain once it starts.
How It Works:
Amlodipine selectively blocks calcium channels in vascular smooth muscle cells.
By doing so, it relaxes blood vessels, allowing better blood flow and reducing the strain on the heart.
Common Side Effects:
Dizziness
Leg or ankle swelling
Irregular heartbeat
Muscle stiffness
Feeling tired
Stomach pain or nausea
Flushing (sudden warmth, redness, or tingly feeling)
Serious Side Effects (Seek Medical Help):
Allergic reactions (hives, difficulty breathing, swelling of face, lips, tongue, or throat)
Worsening chest pain
Light-headedness or feeling like you might pass out
Remember to take Amdipine as prescribed by your doctor. If you experience any adverse effects or have concerns, seek medical advice promptly.
