Stamlo 2.5 Tablet 1*30

Stamlo 2.5 Tablet belongs to the group of medicines called calcium channel blockers. It is generally prescribed for the management of high blood pressure and for reducing the risk of chest pain caused by heart-related problems (angina). By relaxing blood vessels, it eases the flow of blood, lowers the strain on the heart, and helps prevent serious conditions such as stroke and heart attack.

How it is taken
Your doctor may recommend this tablet by itself or in combination with other medicines depending on your health condition and severity of symptoms. The timing of the dose can be flexible, with or without meals, but it is advisable to take it around the same time every day for best results. This medicine should not be stopped suddenly, even if you feel fine, since high blood pressure often has no warning signs. Alongside treatment, lifestyle changes like regular exercise, healthy eating, and weight control are important for effective blood pressure management.

Possible side effects
Some patients may notice symptoms such as headache, swelling in the feet or ankles, tiredness, stomach discomfort, nausea, drowsiness, or abdominal pain. These effects are usually mild and improve with time, but if they continue or become troublesome, it is recommended to speak to your doctor. Rarely, changes in the skin such as lichenoid keratosis may occur and should be reported to a healthcare professional.

Precautions
Before beginning treatment, inform your doctor about any existing liver, kidney, or heart-related problems. Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding should seek medical advice before using this tablet. It is also necessary to inform the doctor about any other medicines you are currently taking, particularly those prescribed for blood pressure or heart issues. Regular monitoring of blood pressure is suggested to check how well the medicine is working.

Uses
This medicine is used for managing high blood pressure, chest pain linked to heart conditions, irregular heartbeat, sudden high blood pressure episodes, bleeding around the brain (subarachnoid haemorrhage), and sometimes for conditions such as anal fissures.

Benefits
By widening the blood vessels, Stamlo 2.5 Tablet improves circulation throughout the body. This not only helps in controlling blood pressure but also reduces the risk of long-term complications like kidney damage, stroke, or heart failure. Even if the benefits are not immediately felt, consistent use helps safeguard long-term health.

Directions for use
The tablet should be swallowed whole with water without crushing, breaking, or chewing it. It may be taken with meals or on an empty stomach, though taking it at a regular fixed time each day increases its effectiveness.

How it works
Stamlo 2.5 works by blocking calcium from entering the blood vessel walls. This relaxation of the vessels reduces the pressure inside them, allowing better circulation. In angina, the improved blood flow reduces the strain on the heart and improves oxygen delivery, which helps prevent chest discomfort.

Safety guidance
Alcohol may increase side effects such as dizziness, so it is better to be cautious. Use during pregnancy requires medical supervision because animal studies suggest potential risks to the baby. For breastfeeding mothers, it is considered relatively safe but should still be taken only if prescribed. Since this medicine may cause sleepiness, dizziness, or tiredness, driving or operating heavy machinery should be avoided until you know how it affects you. People with kidney conditions generally do not require dose changes, but those with liver problems may need lower doses with close monitoring.

Missed dose
If you forget a dose, take it as soon as you remember. If it is nearly time for the next dose, skip the missed one and continue as normal. Do not take two doses at once to make up for the missed one.
