AMLOZ L TABLET 10'S

How AMLOZ L TABLET 10'S Works

• AMLOZ L TABLET 10'S is a combination medication designed to effectively manage hypertension (high blood pressure) and reduce the risk of associated cardiovascular events. It combines two active ingredients: Amlodipine and Lisinopril, each working through different mechanisms to achieve a synergistic effect in lowering blood pressure.
• Amlodipine is a calcium channel blocker. It works by blocking the entry of calcium into the smooth muscle cells of the blood vessels. This calcium influx is essential for muscle contraction. By inhibiting calcium entry, Amlodipine causes the blood vessels to relax and widen (vasodilation). This vasodilation reduces the resistance against which the heart has to pump, thereby lowering blood pressure. Amlodipine primarily affects the arteries and has a more pronounced effect on peripheral blood vessels, contributing to reduced afterload on the heart. This mechanism also helps in managing angina (chest pain) by increasing blood supply to the heart muscle.
• Lisinopril, on the other hand, is an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 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 the blood vessels, leading to increased blood pressure. Additionally, angiotensin II stimulates the release of aldosterone, a hormone that causes the kidneys to retain sodium and water, further increasing blood volume and pressure. Lisinopril inhibits ACE, thus reducing the production of angiotensin II. This leads to vasodilation, reduced aldosterone levels, and decreased sodium and water retention. Ultimately, Lisinopril helps lower blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart.
• The combined action of Amlodipine and Lisinopril provides a more comprehensive approach to blood pressure management than either drug could achieve alone. Amlodipine's vasodilation complements Lisinopril's ACE inhibition, resulting in effective blood pressure control. This combination is particularly beneficial for patients who require multiple medications to manage their hypertension. By reducing blood pressure, AMLOZ L TABLET 10'S helps prevent serious cardiovascular complications such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney damage. It's crucial to take AMLOZ L TABLET 10'S as prescribed by your healthcare provider to ensure optimal therapeutic benefits and minimize potential side effects.

• If you miss a dose of AMLOZ L Tablet 10'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 1X10 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store AMLOZ L TAB 1X10 at room temperature.

• Take AMLOZ L TABLET 10'S exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not alter the dosage or discontinue the medication without consulting your healthcare provider. Consistency is key for optimal blood pressure control.
• AMLOZ L TABLET 10'S can be taken with or without food. However, try to take it at the same time each day to help you remember and maintain a consistent level of medication in your system. Establishing a routine will maximize its effectiveness.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, and herbal products you are currently taking. Amlodipine and Losartan can interact with other substances, potentially affecting their efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. This includes over-the-counter drugs and herbal remedies.
• Monitor your blood pressure regularly while taking AMLOZ L TABLET 10'S. Keep a record of your readings and share them with your doctor during follow-up appointments. This helps your doctor assess the medication's effectiveness and adjust the dosage if needed. Consider purchasing a home blood pressure monitor for convenient tracking.
• Be aware of potential side effects, such as dizziness, lightheadedness, or swelling in your ankles or feet. If you experience any persistent or bothersome side effects, contact your doctor promptly. Do not ignore side effects, as some may require medical attention. Your doctor can provide guidance on managing or mitigating these effects.

• AMLOZ L TABLET 10'S can be taken with or without food. Food does not significantly affect the absorption of Amlodipine and Lisinopril, the active ingredients in AMLOZ L TABLET 10'S. However, it is advisable to take the medicine at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels. Consult your doctor for specific dietary advice if you have any concerns.
