Uses / Indications:
The Amlip 10 mg Tablet is given to treat:
High blood pressure (hypertension) lowers blood pressure and lowers the chance of having a heart attack or stroke.
Angina pectoris, or chest pain, helps blood flow to the heart muscles.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) helps keep blood vessels from getting too thin and causing ischemic events.
Vasospastic angina, also known as Prinzmetal's angina, relaxes the coronary arteries and stops spasms.
Pregnancy interaction:
Pregnancy: Only use Amlip 10 mg Tablet if you really need to. There isn't much data on people, and animal studies don't suggest any big danger, although alternative medications are often better. Talk to your doctor before using.
Breastfeeding: A little bit may get into breast milk. Use with caution and only under the care of a doctor.
Birth control: Women who could get pregnant should tell their doctor before starting Amlip.
Expert advice:
Take Amlip every day at the same time, generally in the morning.
Avoid drinking alcohol, which might make you feel more dizzy or faint.
To avoid feeling lightheaded, get up carefully from a sitting or laying position.
Check your blood pressure on a regular basis.
If your ankles swell, put your legs up while you rest. If it doesn't go away, see your doctor.
Eat a diet low in sodium, work out often, and keep your weight in a healthy range.
Tell your doctor before any surgery or dental work since they may need to change your dose.
Keep it out of the light and away from kids in a cold, dry area.

How to use:
Follow your doctor's instructions exactly when taking Amlip 10 mg Tablet.
Do not crush or chew it; just swallow it whole with water.
You can take it with or without food, but it's best to do it at the same time every day.
Even if you feel fine, don't skip doses. High blood pressure often doesn't show any signs.
If you forget to take a dose, take it when you remember, unless it's almost time for the next one.
Don't stop taking the medicine all at once; it could make your blood pressure go up or develop angina
How it works:
Amlip has Amlodipine in it, which is a calcium channel blocker that
Stops calcium from getting into the smooth muscle cells of blood arteries and the heart.
Lowers blood pressure by making arteries relax and get bigger.
Reduces the amount of effort and oxygen the heart needs, which helps with chest pain.
This makes blood flow smoother, puts less strain on the heart, and gives heart tissues more oxygen.

Medicine interaction:
Amlip 10 mg Tablet may have an effect on:
Other antihypertensives, like beta-blockers and ACE inhibitors, can help decrease blood pressure even further.
Simvastatin has a higher chance of hurting muscles, and the dose shouldn't be more than 20 mg/day.
CYP3A4 inhibitors, such grapefruit juice, ketoconazole, itraconazole, and clarithromycin, raise the levels of Amlodipine.
CYP3A4 inducers, such rifampicin, phenytoin, and carbamazepine, make Amlodipine less effective.
NSAIDs may lessen the effect of antihypertensives if taken for a long time.
Alcohol can make dizziness and low blood pressure worse.
