Stamlo 10 Tablet 1*30

Stamlo 10 Tablet is a medicine that falls under the group of calcium channel blockers. It is mainly prescribed to control high blood pressure and to manage chest pain caused by reduced blood flow to the heart (angina). By relaxing blood vessels, it lowers pressure on the heart and helps prevent serious events like heart attack and stroke.

How it is taken
Doctors may prescribe this tablet alone or with other medicines depending on the patient’s condition. The dosage is based on the severity of illness and individual health needs. It can be taken at any time of the day, with or without food, but it is more effective if taken at the same time each day. Stopping this medicine suddenly is not advisable, as uncontrolled blood pressure often shows no warning signs. Along with medicine, lifestyle changes such as daily physical activity, healthy eating, and weight management greatly improve results.

Possible side effects
Some people may experience headache, swelling of the feet or ankles, tiredness, nausea, stomach pain, or drowsiness. Usually, these effects are mild and tend to improve with time. If any symptom continues or becomes bothersome, medical advice should be sought. In rare cases, skin changes like lichenoid keratosis have been noticed, which should be reported to a doctor immediately.

Precautions
Before starting this medicine, inform your doctor about any liver, kidney, or heart problems you may have. Pregnant or breastfeeding women should use it only after consulting a medical professional. It is also important to share details of other medicines you are using, especially those prescribed for blood pressure or heart conditions. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is advised during treatment.

Uses
This medicine is recommended in conditions such as high blood pressure, chest pain due to heart problems, irregular heart rhythm, hypertensive emergencies, bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid haemorrhage), and sometimes for anal fissures.

Benefits
By easing the tension in blood vessels, Stamlo 10 improves circulation, making it easier for the heart to pump blood. This lowers blood pressure and reduces the chances of developing complications like stroke, kidney damage, or heart failure. While patients may not feel an immediate benefit, consistent use helps maintain long-term health.

Directions for use
Swallow the tablet whole with water without chewing or crushing it. It may be taken with meals or on an empty stomach, but maintaining a fixed daily routine improves its effectiveness.

How it works
The active ingredient in Stamlo 10 acts by blocking calcium entry into blood vessel walls, causing them to relax and widen. This lowers resistance in the arteries, helping to normalize blood pressure. In angina, it eases the workload on the heart, allowing better oxygen supply and reducing chest pain.

Safety advice
Alcohol intake should be limited as it can intensify side effects like dizziness. Use during pregnancy requires medical guidance since animal studies have shown some risk to the unborn child. For breastfeeding mothers, it appears relatively safe but should still be taken under advice. Drowsiness, fatigue, or dizziness can sometimes occur, which means caution is needed when driving. Patients with kidney issues usually do not require dose adjustments, but those with liver disease may need closer monitoring and smaller doses at first.

Missed dose
If a dose is forgotten, it should be taken as soon as remembered. If it is nearly time for the next dose, the missed one should be skipped, and the regular schedule continued. Double doses should not be taken.
