Amodep-AT Tablet is a combination medicine used to treat hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina. It is prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to control blood pressure. By effectively lowering blood pressure, it helps reduce the risk of heart attack and stroke. This tablet can be taken with or without food, preferably at the same time each day. It is important to continue taking it as advised by your doctor, even if you feel well, as high blood pressure often has no symptoms. Stopping the medication abruptly can worsen your condition. Maintaining an active lifestyle with regular exercise, weight management, and a healthy diet can further aid in controlling blood pressure.

Common side effects of Amodep-AT Tablet include headache, slow heart rate, and nausea. Some individuals may also experience dizziness, so activities requiring focus, such as driving, should be avoided until you know how the medicine affects you. The medication may increase potassium levels in the blood, so potassium-rich foods or supplements should be taken with caution. Regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolyte levels may be necessary during treatment.

Before starting this medication, inform your doctor if you have any liver or kidney issues. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before taking this medicine. Additionally, it is important to disclose any other medications you are using, especially those for high blood pressure or heart-related conditions.
