AMLOSAFE H TABLET 10'S

How AMLOSAFE H TABLET 10'S Works

• AMLOSAFE H Tablet 10's is a combination medication designed to manage hypertension (high blood pressure). It contains two active ingredients: Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide, which work synergistically to lower blood pressure effectively.
• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. Specifically, Amlodipine blocks calcium from entering the muscle cells of the heart and blood vessels. This reduces the contraction of the heart and relaxes the blood vessels, leading to decreased blood pressure. By reducing the resistance in the blood vessels, Amlodipine helps the heart to pump blood more efficiently.
• Hydrochlorothiazide is a diuretic, also known as a 'water pill.' It works by helping the kidneys eliminate excess salt and water from the body. This reduces the amount of fluid in the blood, which in turn lowers blood pressure. Hydrochlorothiazide increases urine production, which helps to remove sodium and chloride ions from the body. This diuretic effect complements the action of Amlodipine by further reducing the volume of fluid circulating in the bloodstream, thus contributing to a more significant reduction in blood pressure.
• The combined action of Amlodipine and Hydrochlorothiazide provides a comprehensive approach to managing hypertension. Amlodipine addresses the constriction of blood vessels, while Hydrochlorothiazide reduces the overall fluid volume. This dual mechanism helps to maintain lower blood pressure levels throughout the day. AMLOSAFE H is generally prescribed when a single medication is not sufficient to control blood pressure effectively. It is important to take this medicine as prescribed by your doctor, as it may take several weeks to see the full effects.
• It is important to note that while AMLOSAFE H effectively manages high blood pressure, it is often used in conjunction with lifestyle modifications such as diet and exercise to achieve optimal blood pressure control. Consistent monitoring of blood pressure and adherence to the prescribed treatment plan are essential for managing hypertension and reducing the risk of associated cardiovascular complications.
