AMLOZAAR H TABLET 15'S

How AMLOZAAR H TABLET 15'S Works

• AMLOZAAR H Tablet 15's is a combination medication designed to effectively manage hypertension, or high blood pressure. It combines the power of two active ingredients: Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide. Each component works via a distinct mechanism, providing a synergistic effect that helps lower blood pressure more effectively than either medicine alone.
• Amlodipine belongs to a class of drugs called calcium channel blockers. Calcium plays a crucial role in muscle contraction, including the muscles in the walls of blood vessels. 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. By relaxing the blood vessels, Amlodipine reduces the resistance against which the heart has to pump, thereby lowering blood pressure. This effect primarily targets the systemic circulation, easing the workload on the heart and improving blood flow.
• Hydrochlorothiazide, on the other hand, is a thiazide diuretic, often referred to as a 'water pill.' It works by acting on the kidneys to increase the excretion of sodium and water from the body. In the kidneys, Hydrochlorothiazide inhibits the reabsorption of sodium in the distal convoluted tubule. As sodium is excreted, water follows along, leading to increased urine production. This reduces the volume of fluid in the bloodstream, which in turn lowers blood pressure. Additionally, Hydrochlorothiazide has been shown to have a long-term effect on blood vessel relaxation, contributing further to its blood pressure-lowering capabilities.
• When Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide are combined in AMLOZAAR H Tablet 15's, they provide a dual-pronged approach to blood pressure management. Amlodipine relaxes the blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide reduces the volume of fluid within those vessels. This combination allows for a more comprehensive and effective reduction in blood pressure compared to using either medication alone. The complementary mechanisms help to balance out potential side effects and provide better overall control of hypertension.
• AMLOZAAR H Tablet 15's should be taken as prescribed by your doctor. Regular monitoring of blood pressure and kidney function is important while taking this medication to ensure optimal results and minimize potential side effects. Lifestyle modifications, such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, and stress management, can further enhance the effectiveness of AMLOZAAR H Tablet 15's in managing hypertension.

Common side effects of Amlozaar H Tablet may include dizziness, headache, fatigue, sleepiness, nausea, flushing (warmth, redness, or tingly feeling), edema (swelling) in ankles or feet, and palpitations (fast, irregular heartbeat). Less common but potentially serious side effects can include persistent cough, muscle cramps or weakness, high blood sugar, increased uric acid, electrolyte imbalance (such as low potassium or sodium), allergic reactions (rash, itching, swelling), and kidney problems. Some patients might experience changes in blood pressure, especially when standing up from a sitting or lying position (orthostatic hypotension). Consult your doctor if you experience any persistent or worsening side effects.

• If you miss a dose of AMLOZAAR H 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 AMLOZAAR H TAB 1X15 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store AMLOZAAR H TAB 1X15 at room temperature.

• AMLOZAAR H TABLET 15'S can be taken with or without food. However, it is advisable to take it at a fixed time to maintain consistent levels of the medication in your body.
• Avoid consuming excessive amounts of grapefruit or grapefruit juice while taking this medication, as it may increase the levels of amlodipine in your blood and potentially enhance its blood pressure-lowering effects.
