How It Works

Amlodipine works by relaxing and widening blood vessels, allowing blood to flow more easily. It blocks calcium from entering the cells of the heart and blood vessel walls, which reduces the workload on the heart and lowers blood pressure. This action also improves blood supply to the heart muscle, alleviating angina symptoms.

Dosage

The usual starting dose of Freshborn Amlodipine is 5mg once daily, which may be increased to 10mg once daily if necessary. The maximum recommended dose is 10mg per day. Take the tablet at the same time each day, with or without food. Do not alter the dosage without consulting your healthcare provider.

Side Effects

Common side effects may include headache, dizziness, fatigue, nausea, and ankle swelling. These often improve as your body adjusts to the medication. More serious side effects are rare but can include severe dizziness, fainting, or irregular heartbeat. If you experience these, seek medical attention immediately.

Do not stop taking Freshborn Amlodipine suddenly without consulting your doctor, as this may worsen your condition.
