Amlodipine is a drug used to treat high blood pressure and heart disease. It is a calcium channel blocker that helps blood vessels relax, thereby lowering blood pressure and improving blood flow to the heart. Amlodipine is usually taken by mouth once daily and is recommended to be taken at the same time. For most patients, the starting dose is 5 mg and can be adjusted to 10 mg as needed. Side effects such as dizziness, edema, or diarrhea may occur when starting amlodipine, but most patients tolerate it well. If you have any adverse reactions, notify your doctor immediately. Amlodipine may interact with other medications, so you should consult your doctor before using other medications. Remember, amlodipine should only be used as recommended by your doctor and should not be adjusted or discontinued on your own.
Instructions:
The drug should be taken orally, once daily. Best taken at the same time, with or without food. Avoid taking it with grapefruit juice as it may affect the effectiveness of the medicine. During the course of taking the drug, avoid stopping the drug suddenly and gradually reduce the dose as directed by your doctor.
Dosage Guidelines:
- Adults: Starting dose is 5 mg daily, which may be adjusted to a maximum dose of 10 mg based on individual circumstances. Your doctor may adjust the dose based on your condition.
- Children: Dosage needs to be determined based on the child's weight and age, usually starting at a lower dose and adjusted according to doctor's advice.
Remember to follow your doctor's advice and do not adjust your dosage or stop using the medication on your own. If you have any questions or discomfort, you should consult your doctor immediately.
