Description:

Amlokind 5 Tablet is a calcium channel blocker used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and prevent angina (heart-related chest pain). By lowering blood pressure and reducing the heart’s workload, it helps in preventing heart attacks and strokes. This medication may be prescribed alone or in combination with other medicines, depending on the severity of the condition. It can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time daily for consistent effectiveness. It is crucial to continue taking this medicine as prescribed, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor may worsen your condition. Maintaining an active lifestyle with regular exercise, a healthy diet, and weight management will further support blood pressure control.

Common side effects include headache, swelling (edema), fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and drowsiness. If these effects persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor for advice on managing them. Some patients taking Amlokind 5 Tablet have reported lichenoid keratosis, a benign, inflamed skin lesion found on sun-exposed areas. If you notice any skin changes, inform your doctor promptly. Before taking this medicine, inform your doctor if you have any liver, heart, or kidney conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before using this medication. Additionally, let your doctor know about any other medicines you are taking, especially those for high blood pressure or heart-related conditions. Regular blood pressure monitoring is recommended to ensure the medicine is working effectively.
