AMLOZ L TABLET 15'S

How AMLOZ L TABLET 15'S Works

• AMLOZ L Tablet 15'S is a combination medication designed to manage hypertension (high blood pressure) effectively. It contains two active ingredients: Amlodipine and Lisinopril. Each component works through different mechanisms to lower blood pressure, providing a synergistic effect for optimal results.
• Amlodipine belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. Calcium plays a crucial role in muscle contraction, including the muscles in the heart and blood vessel walls. Amlodipine works by blocking the entry of calcium into these muscle cells. This blockage causes the blood vessels to relax and widen, a process known as vasodilation. When blood vessels are dilated, the heart doesn't have to pump as hard to circulate blood, leading to a decrease in blood pressure. Amlodipine primarily affects the arteries, reducing the resistance the heart pumps against.
• Lisinopril, on the other hand, is an ACE (Angiotensin-Converting Enzyme) inhibitor. ACE is an enzyme in the body responsible for converting angiotensin I to angiotensin II. Angiotensin II is a potent vasoconstrictor, meaning it narrows blood vessels, leading to increased blood pressure. It also stimulates the release of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain sodium and water, further increasing blood volume and blood pressure.
• Lisinopril inhibits ACE, preventing the formation of angiotensin II. This action leads to several beneficial effects: blood vessels dilate, reducing blood pressure; the release of aldosterone is suppressed, causing the kidneys to excrete more sodium and water, further lowering blood volume; and the reduced levels of angiotensin II also decrease the workload on the heart. Lisinopril affects both arteries and veins, contributing to a balanced reduction in blood pressure.
• By combining Amlodipine and Lisinopril, AMLOZ L Tablet 15'S provides a comprehensive approach to blood pressure management. Amlodipine reduces vascular resistance by relaxing blood vessels, while Lisinopril prevents the formation of a substance that constricts blood vessels and promotes fluid retention. This dual action effectively lowers blood pressure, reducing the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney problems. It's essential to take AMLOZ L Tablet 15'S as prescribed by your doctor and to adhere to any lifestyle modifications they recommend for optimal blood pressure control.

Common side effects of AMLOZ L Tablet may include headache, dizziness, sleepiness, fatigue, palpitations (fast or irregular heartbeat), flushing (feeling of warmth), ankle swelling, nausea, abdominal pain, and indigestion. Less common side effects can involve changes in mood, anxiety, depression, tremor, muscle stiffness, visual disturbances, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), low blood pressure, shortness of breath, increased sweating, skin rash, itching, hair loss, and changes in bowel habits. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as chest pain, heart attack, or severe allergic reactions may occur. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.

• If you miss a dose of AMLOZ L Tablet 15'S, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to catch up.

• Keep AMLOZ L TAB 1X15 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store AMLOZ L TAB 1X15 at room temperature.

• AMLOZ L TABLET 15'S can be taken with or without food. However, it is advisable to take it at a fixed time to maintain consistent blood levels of the medicine. Avoid consuming large amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking this medicine, as it may increase the levels of amlodipine in your blood, potentially leading to increased side effects. Consult your doctor if you have any concerns.
