AMLOSAFE TM 80MG TABLET 10S

1. Product Introduction:

   • AMLOSAFE TM 80mg Tablet is prescribed for the management of hypertension (high blood pressure).
   • Telmisartan, an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB), and Amlodipine, a calcium channel blocker, work synergistically to relax blood vessels, thereby lowering blood pressure.
   • By reducing blood pressure, AMLOSAFE TM helps mitigate the risk of cardiovascular events such as heart attacks and strokes associated with hypertension.

AMLOSAFE TM 80mg Tablet may be taken on an empty stomach or along with food. However, it is better to take it regularly at a fixed time each day, as prescribed by your doctor. The dose will depend on your condition and how you respond to the medicine. It’s important to keep taking this medicine even if you feel well. By lowering your blood pressure, it is reducing your risk of heart attack or stroke so do not stop taking it unless your doctor tells you to. You can help this medication work better by making a few changes to your lifestyle such as keeping active, stopping smoking, and eating a low salt and low-fat diet.

The most common side effects of this medicine include swelling in your ankles or feet (edema), headache, sleepiness, dizziness, tiredness, and upset stomach. Since it may cause sleepiness and dizziness, do not drive or do anything requiring concentration until you know how it affects you. Talk to your doctor if any of the side effects bother you or will not go away.

Before taking this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any kidney or liver problems or severe dehydration. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should also consult their doctor before taking it. While using this medicine, your blood pressure will need to be checked often and your kidney function may also need to be tested.

1. Benefits:

   • Effective blood pressure control: The combination of Telmisartan and Amlodipine offers potent antihypertensive effects, ensuring better management of hypertension.
   • Cardiovascular protection: Lowering blood pressure with AMLOSAFE TM reduces the strain on the heart and blood vessels, decreasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
   • Improved tolerability: Combining these medications may enhance tolerability and compliance compared to using each drug individually, as they act through different mechanisms.

2. Side Effects:

   • Common side effects may include dizziness, headache, flushing, peripheral edema (swelling of the ankles), and fatigue.
   • Less common but potentially serious side effects may include low blood pressure, irregular heartbeat, liver problems, and allergic reactions such as rash or swelling.

3. Usage Guidelines:

   • AMLOSAFE TM 80mg Tablet is typically taken orally once daily, with or without food, as directed by a healthcare professional.
   • Dosage adjustment may be necessary based on individual response and the severity of hypertension.
   • Abrupt discontinuation of the medication should be avoided without consulting a doctor to prevent rebound hypertension or other adverse effects.

4. Drug Interactions:

   • Inform your healthcare provider about all medications you are taking, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medications, vitamins, and herbal supplements.
   • Certain medications may interact with AMLOSAFE TM, potentially altering its efficacy or increasing the risk of side effects. These may include other antihypertensive drugs, potassium supplements, and medications affecting liver function.

As with any medication, it’s crucial to use AMLOSAFE TM 80mg Tablet as prescribed by your doctor and to promptly report any concerning symptoms or side effects. Consult your healthcare provider for personalized advice and recommendations regarding its use.
