Lodipam 10 mg 30 tablets

Lodipam 10 mg, reduces blood pressure, and protects against complications of high blood pressure - 30 tablets.

How to use:

• Amlodipine prevents the flow of calcium ions into cells, with a greater effect on the smooth muscle cells in blood vessels, leading to vasodilation and reduced vascular resistance to blood flow, thus lowering blood pressure.

Medical uses:

• To treat patients suffering from high blood pressure: High blood pressure is a common condition in which the long-term pressure in the arteries is elevated enough to eventually cause health problems, such as heart disease.
• To treat patients suffering from coronary artery diseases (stable and chronic angina, angina caused by sudden contraction of the arteries)

How to use:

• Take the medicine as your doctor or pharmacist has explained to you.
• Take the medicine with a glass of water.
• If you are taking this medication once daily, take it in the morning.
• Recommended dose for adults: 5 mg once daily to a maximum of 10 mg once daily.
• Small and weak patients, the elderly, or patients with liver failure may start with a dose of 2.5 mg once daily.

• Doses may be changed in special circumstances, so always follow your doctor or pharmacist's instructions.
• If you take more than you should, talk to your doctor or go to hospital straight away.

  Do not take a double dose (two doses at the same time) to make up for a missed dose.

Warnings and precautions:

• It is possible for hypotension to occur with symptoms. However, due to the gradual onset of the medication, acute hypotension is unlikely to occur.
• Exacerbation of angina pectoris and acute myocardial infarction can develop after starting or increasing the dose of amlodipine, especially in patients with acute coronary artery occlusion.
• Increase the dose slowly for patients with severe hepatic impairment.
