AMLOKATH-L
₹78.83
Amlokath-L Tablet is a prescription medication used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), which helps to reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. It contains two active ingredients: amlodipine (5 mg) and lisinopril (5 mg).
Key Information
- Active Ingredients: Each tablet contains Amlodipine 5 mg (a calcium channel blocker) and Lisinopril 5 mg (an angiotensin-converting enzyme or ACE inhibitor).
- Mechanism of Action:
- Amlodipine relaxes and widens blood vessels, which improves blood flow and reduces pressure.
- Lisinopril prevents the body from forming a substance (angiotensin II) that narrows blood vessels, further contributing to vessel relaxation and lower blood pressure.
- Together, they provide better blood pressure control than either medication alone.
- Manufacturer: Life Medicare & Biotech Pvt Ltd.
Uses
Amlokath-L Tablet is primarily used for the following conditions:
- Treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension): It is especially beneficial when blood pressure is not adequately controlled by a single medication.
- Prevention of cardiovascular events: By lowering blood pressure, it helps in reducing the chances of future heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.
- Improved blood flow: It improves blood supply to the heart muscle, potentially preventing chest pain (angina).
Potential Side Effects
Most side effects are generally mild and temporary. Consult your doctor if they persist or become bothersome.
- Common side effects:
- Headache and dizziness.
- Ankle or feet swelling (edema).
- Tiredness and fatigue.
- Cough (a known side effect of ACE inhibitors like lisinopril).
- Nausea, stomach pain, or upset stomach.
- Palpitations (feeling the heart beat faster than normal).
- Flushing (sense of warmth in the face, ears, neck).
- Serious Side Effects (Rare): Contact your doctor immediately if you experience signs of an allergic reaction (swelling of the face, mouth, or throat; difficulty breathing), yellowing of the skin/eyes, or severe abdominal pain.
Important Precautions
- Administration: The tablet can be taken with or without food, but taking it at a fixed time each day is recommended. Swallow the medicine whole; do not crush or chew it.
- Do Not Stop Abruptly: Continue taking the medicine regularly, even if you feel well, as prescribed by the doctor. Stopping it suddenly may cause your blood pressure to rise again and increase health risks.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: This medication is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Consult your doctor immediately if you become pregnant while on this medicine.
- Alcohol and Diet: Avoid excessive alcohol consumption as it can further lower blood pressure. Also, avoid potassium supplements unless advised by a doctor, as the medicine can increase potassium levels in the blood.
- Monitoring: Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels is advised during treatment.
