Active Ingredient: Amlodipine (as Amlodipine Besylate).
Strength: 5 mg.
Mechanism: It works by blocking calcium from entering the muscle cells of your heart and blood vessels. This relaxes and widens the blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily and reducing the workload on the heart.
Hypertension (High Blood Pressure): To lower blood pressure and reduce the long-term risk of strokes and heart attacks.
Angina Pectoris: Used to prevent and manage chronic stable chest pain.
Vasospastic Angina: Specifically for Prinzmetal’s or “variant” angina caused by spasms in the coronary arteries.

Typical Starting Dose: Usually 5 mg taken once daily. Depending on your response, a doctor may increase this to 10 mg.
Timing: It can be taken with or without food. It is best to take it at the same time every day to maintain consistent levels in your blood.
Duration: This is typically a long-term treatment. Do not stop taking it abruptly without consulting your doctor, as this can cause a sudden spike in blood pressure.
Grapefruit Juice: Avoid consuming grapefruit or its juice, as it can increase the concentration of Amlodipine in your blood and lead to severe side effects.
Alcohol: Limit alcohol intake, as it can enhance the blood pressure-lowering effect, potentially causing fainting or extreme dizziness.
Liver/Kidney Health: Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, as the drug is processed extensively by the liver.
