Description

Indications / Uses

Amlothix Amlodipine 10mg is used to lower high blood pressure by relaxing the blood vessels, improving blood flow, and reducing the heart’s workload, as it is a calcium channel blocker. This also enhances oxygen flow, preventing chest pain associated with heart issues.
This medication is also prescribed for treating specific types of chest pain, including Prinzmetal’s angina, a rare form that occurs during rest.
10mg is required by most patients with angina. Your dosage may be increased to this strength if the lower dose was not effective in treating your symptoms.

Side-effects

Common side effects of Amlothix Amlodipine 10mg include dizziness and fatigue. If affected, avoid driving or activities that require alertness. Seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of the following:
  • Sudden wheezing, chest pain, or difficulty breathing
  • Swelling of the eyelids, face, or lips
  • Tongue and throat swelling causing breathing difficulty
  • Severe skin reactions such as rash, hives, or skin blistering
  • Heart attack or abnormal heartbeat
  • Inflamed pancreas resulting in severe abdominal and back pain with feeling very unwell.
