Amlong 10 Tablet

Product Overview
Amlong 10 Tablet belongs to a group of medicines called calcium channel blockers. It is commonly prescribed to help manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and to prevent angina, which is chest discomfort related to heart problems. By relaxing and widening the blood vessels, it helps lower blood pressure, making it easier for the heart to pump blood and reducing the risk of heart attacks and strokes.

This medication may be used on its own or in combination with other drugs, depending on your medical condition and how severe it is. It can be taken at any time during the day, with or without meals, but it’s best to take it around the same time daily. It is important to continue taking Amlong 10 Tablet for as long as your doctor recommends, even if you feel well, because high blood pressure often has no noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medicine suddenly can make your condition worse. Along with this medication, maintaining a healthy lifestyle through regular exercise, balanced diet, and weight management can improve its effectiveness.

Some people may experience mild side effects such as headaches, tiredness, swelling, nausea, stomach discomfort, or drowsiness. If these effects persist or become bothersome, speak with your doctor for guidance. In rare cases, this medication has been linked to a harmless skin lesion known as lichenoid keratosis. If you notice unusual changes in your skin, inform your doctor.

Before starting treatment, let your healthcare provider know if you have liver, kidney, or heart-related problems. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medicine. It is also important to tell your doctor about all other medications you are taking to avoid possible interactions. Regular blood pressure checks will help ensure the treatment is working effectively.

Follow your doctor’s dosage instructions carefully. Swallow the tablet whole with water. Do not chew or crush it. It can be taken with or without meals but try to take it at the same time each day.

How It Works
Amlong 10 Tablet acts by relaxing and widening the blood vessels, making it easier for blood to circulate. This lowers blood pressure and reduces strain on the heart. For patients with angina, it decreases the heart’s workload and improves oxygen flow, which helps prevent chest pain episodes.
