Amtas 10 Tablet

Product Overview
Amtas 10 Tablet is a medication from the class of calcium channel blockers. It is commonly used for managing high blood pressure (hypertension) and preventing angina, which is chest pain related to heart issues. By lowering blood pressure and reducing strain on the heart, this medicine helps lower the risk of serious conditions such as heart attacks and strokes.

This medicine can be prescribed on its own or combined with other treatments, depending on the patient’s condition and response to therapy. The dosage is determined by your doctor based on the severity of the illness and individual health factors. It can be taken with or without food, ideally at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in the body. Do not stop taking it suddenly without medical advice, even if you start feeling better, as untreated high blood pressure can silently cause harm. Lifestyle changes like regular exercise, healthy eating, and weight management will enhance the effectiveness of the treatment.

Possible Side Effects
Some individuals may experience minor side effects such as headaches, tiredness, swelling in certain areas of the body, nausea, stomach discomfort, or sleepiness. These usually subside as the body adapts to the medication. However, if they persist or worsen, consult your doctor. Rarely, some patients may notice skin changes like lichenoid keratosis, a harmless but inflamed patch on sun-exposed skin. If this occurs, medical attention is necessary.

Precautions Before Use
Inform your doctor if you have any liver, kidney, or heart-related conditions before starting this medicine. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should seek medical advice before use. It’s also important to mention all other medications you are taking, especially those used for managing blood pressure or heart diseases. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advised to ensure the treatment is effective.

Benefits for High Blood Pressure
Amtas 10 Tablet works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, improving blood flow throughout the body. This lowers blood pressure, which reduces strain on the heart and decreases the risk of long-term complications like kidney damage, strokes, and heart attacks. You may not feel immediate effects, but continued use keeps blood pressure under control and protects overall health.

How to Take
Swallow the tablet whole with water, without crushing or breaking it. Take it exactly as directed by your doctor. Consistency is key, so try to take it at the same time each day, with or without meals.

How It Works
As a calcium channel blocker, Amtas 10 Tablet relaxes the blood vessels, reducing the pressure within them. For angina, it helps by improving blood flow and oxygen supply to the heart muscles, thereby reducing pain and preventing further episodes.
