Product Introduction:

Amlip 5mg tablet is a pharmaceutical product containing the active ingredient Amlodipine, which belongs to the class of medications known as calcium channel blockers. It is commonly prescribed for the treatment of high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina).

Amlip 5mg tablet may be prescribed alone or along with other medicines. The dose depends on what you are taking it for and the severity of your condition. You can take it at any time of the day, with or without food, but it is best to take it at about the same time each day. You should take this medicine for as long as it is prescribed for you. Even if you feel well, do not stop this medicine on your own because high blood pressure often has no symptoms. If you stop taking it, your condition may get worse. Keeping yourself active with regular exercise, managing your weight, and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure.

The most common side effects include headache, fatigue, nausea, abdominal pain, and sleepiness. Consult your doctor if any of these side effects bother you or do not go away. They may be able to suggest ways to prevent or reduce the side effects.

Before taking it, let your doctor know if you have any liver, heart, or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking this medicine. You also need to tell your doctor about all the other medicines you are taking, especially those used to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions. You should have your blood pressure checked regularly to make sure that this medicine is working properly.

Drug Interactions:

  • Amlip 5mg tablet may interact with other medications, including:

    2. Medications metabolized by the CYP3A4 enzyme system (e.g., certain statins, antifungals, antibiotics) – Amlodipine may increase the concentration of these drugs in the blood, potentially causing adverse effects.
    3. Grapefruit juice – may increase the levels of Amlodipine in the blood, leading to an increased risk of side effects.
  • Inform your doctor about all the medications (prescription, over-the-counter, herbal supplements) you are taking before starting Amlip 5mg tablet to avoid potential drug interactions.
