How It Works
Freshborn Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing easier blood flow. It blocks calcium from entering heart and blood vessel wall cells, reducing heart workload and lowering blood pressure. This action improves blood supply to heart muscle, alleviating angina symptoms.
Dosage
Starting Dose | Maximum Dose | Frequency |
---|---|---|
5mg daily | 10mg daily | Once daily |
Take Freshborn Amlodipine at the same time each day, with or without food. Do not alter dosage without consulting your healthcare provider.
Duration of Action
Freshborn Amlodipine begins working within 2-4 hours of taking the first dose, with peak effects occurring 6-12 hours after administration. Full blood pressure lowering effects typically develop within 7-14 days of consistent use. The medication provides 24-hour blood pressure control with once-daily dosing.
Side Effects
Common side effects include headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and ankle swelling. These often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. Rare serious side effects include severe dizziness, fainting, or irregular heartbeat requiring immediate medical attention.
Warning
Inform your doctor if you have liver disease, as dosage adjustments may be necessary. Avoid grapefruit and grapefruit juice while taking Freshborn Amlodipine, as it increases side effect risk. Do not stop taking suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this may worsen your condition.
Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Freshborn Amlodipine should be used during pregnancy only if potential benefits justify potential fetal risks. It’s unknown whether amlodipine passes into breast milk. Consult your healthcare provider before using if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
