AMLOSAFE MT 50MG TABLET 10S

1. Product Introduction:

   • AMLOSAFE MT 50mg Tablet is primarily used for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure) and angina (chest pain).
   • Amlodipine belongs to a class of medications called calcium channel blockers, which work by relaxing blood vessels, thereby improving blood flow and reducing blood pressure.
   • Metoprolol Succinate is a beta-blocker that helps to decrease heart rate, workload on the heart, and the heart’s oxygen demand. This, in turn, lowers blood pressure and reduces the risk of angina.

You can take AMLOSAFE MT 50mg Tablet at any time of day, with or without food, but it is best to take it at the same time each day. Keep taking it for as long as advised by your doctor. 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 active with regular exercise, reducing your weight and eating a healthy diet will also help control your blood pressure. Follow your doctor’s advice while taking this medicine.

It may cause side effects like headache, ankle swelling, skin rash, slow heart rate, nausea,a nd depression. It may also cause dizziness, so do not drive or do anything that requires mental focus until you know how this medicine affects you. This might raise the level of potassium in the blood, hence avoid potassium rich food or supplements. You may be asked for regular monitoring of blood pressure, kidney function, and electrolytes level while on the treatment.

Before taking it, let your doctor know if you have any liver or kidney problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor for advice before taking this medicine. You also need to tell your doctor what other medicines you are taking especially those used to treat high blood pressure or heart conditions.
