Description:

Amlogard 5mg Tablet is a calcium channel blocker used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent angina (chest pain related to the heart). By relaxing blood vessels, it reduces the heart’s workload, lowering blood pressure and minimizing the risk of heart attacks and strokes. This medication may be prescribed alone or in combination with other drugs, depending on the severity of the condition. It can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food, but it is advisable to take it at the same time daily. Consistently taking the medicine as prescribed is crucial, even if you feel well, since high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping the medication abruptly may worsen the condition. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, weight management, and a balanced diet, can further aid in controlling blood pressure.

Common side effects of Amlogard 5mg Tablet include headache, swelling (edema), fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and drowsiness. If these persist or cause discomfort, consult a doctor for guidance on managing them. Some patients have reported lichenoid keratosis—an inflamed, brownish or reddish skin lesion, typically found on sun-exposed areas—while taking this medication. If you notice any unusual skin changes, inform your doctor promptly.
