Description:

Amodep 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 prevent heart attacks and strokes. It can be prescribed alone or with other medications, depending on the severity of the condition. The tablet 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. It is important to continue taking this medicine as prescribed, even if you feel well, since high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, weight management, and a balanced diet can enhance its effectiveness.

Common side effects include headache, edema, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and drowsiness. If these side effects persist or become bothersome, consult your doctor for possible solutions. Some patients have reported lichenoid keratosis, a benign skin lesion, while using this medication. If you notice any unusual skin changes, inform your doctor promptly.
