AMLONG 10MG TABLET 15S

Product Introduction:

Amlong 10mg Tablet contains the active ingredient Amlodipine (10mg). It belongs to the class of medications known as calcium channel blockers. This medication is primarily prescribed for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and certain types of chest pain called angina.

Amlong 10mg 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.

Keeping yourself active with regular exercise, managing your weight, and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure.
