Amtas 2.5 Tablet

Product Overview
Amtas 2.5 Tablet belongs to the group of medicines known as calcium channel blockers. It is commonly prescribed to manage high blood pressure (hypertension) and to prevent angina, which is chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart. By relaxing the blood vessels, this medicine helps reduce the heart’s workload and lowers the risk of serious health problems such as heart attacks and strokes.

Your doctor may prescribe Amtas 2.5 Tablet alone or in combination with other medications, depending on your condition. The dosage will be tailored to your specific health needs and the severity of your symptoms. It can be taken at any time of the day, with or without meals, but it’s best to take it at the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your body. It is important to continue taking this medicine for as long as your doctor advises, even if you feel well, since high blood pressure often shows no noticeable symptoms. Stopping the medicine suddenly could worsen your condition. Lifestyle changes like regular exercise, maintaining a healthy diet, and controlling body weight can also support its effectiveness.

Some common side effects you may experience include headache, swelling in certain parts of the body (edema), tiredness, nausea, stomach discomfort, and sleepiness. These effects are usually mild and temporary. However, if they persist or become troublesome, speak to your doctor. Rarely, this medication may cause a skin condition known as lichenoid keratosis, which appears as an inflamed, reddish or brownish patch on sun-exposed areas of the skin. If you notice such symptoms, seek medical advice.

Before starting Amtas 2.5 Tablet, let your doctor know if you have any existing heart, liver, or kidney conditions. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should consult their doctor before using this medication. Additionally, it is important to inform your healthcare provider about all other medicines you are taking, especially those for blood pressure or heart issues. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure is necessary to ensure the treatment is working effectively.
