Description:

Amcard-AT Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and angina. It works by helping to relax blood vessels and slow the heart rate, which makes it easier for the heart to pump blood efficiently. This helps to lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart-related complications such as heart attacks and strokes.

The tablet can be taken with or without food but should be taken at the same time every day for the best results. Even if you feel well, it is important to continue taking the medication as stopping it suddenly may worsen your condition. Along with this medicine, lifestyle changes such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and maintaining a healthy weight can further support blood pressure control.

Common side effects include headache, nausea, slow heart rate, and dizziness. Since dizziness can affect alertness, avoid driving or engaging in tasks that require concentration until you know how the medicine affects you. This medication may also increase potassium levels in the blood, so it is advisable to avoid potassium-rich foods or supplements unless directed by your doctor. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels may be necessary during treatment.

Before starting Amcard-AT Tablet, inform your doctor about any liver or kidney issues, and if you are pregnant or breastfeeding. Also, share details about any other medications you are taking, particularly those for heart conditions or high blood pressure, to avoid possible drug interactions.
