Amlong 2.5 Tablet

Introduction
Amlong 2.5 Tablet is a medication that falls under the group of calcium channel blockers. It is mainly used to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and to help prevent angina, which is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. By relaxing and widening blood vessels, this medicine lowers blood pressure and decreases the workload on the heart, reducing the chances of heart attacks and strokes.

Your doctor may prescribe Amlong 2.5 Tablet either as a single treatment or in combination with other medicines depending on the severity of your condition. It can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food, but try to take it around the same time every day. Do not stop taking this medicine suddenly without medical advice, even if you feel fine, because high blood pressure often has no clear symptoms and stopping abruptly can worsen your condition. Along with medication, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise, a balanced diet, and proper weight management can improve results.

Some common side effects of this medicine include headache, swelling in the body, tiredness, nausea, stomach discomfort, and drowsiness. Most of these are mild and temporary, but if they persist or become bothersome, seek advice from your doctor. Rarely, it may cause a skin issue known as lichenoid keratosis, which usually appears as a reddish or brownish patch on sun-exposed skin. Inform your doctor immediately if you notice any unusual skin changes.

Before starting this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any medical history involving the liver, heart, or kidneys. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should discuss potential risks with their doctor before using this medication. It’s also important to inform your doctor about other medicines you are taking, especially those used for heart or blood pressure problems. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is recommended to ensure the medicine is working effectively.
