Amlip is a safe and effective treatment for hypertension. It relaxes the blood vessels and decreases the pressure on them. This helps to improve the flow of blood throughout the body, controls your blood pressure levels and thereby reduces risk of heart diseases.
Amlip belongs to a group of medications known as calcium antagonists or calcium channel blockers and is also prescribed to treat angina pectoris and prinzmetal angina also.
Amlodipine, which is commonly prescribed as the first line of treatment for hypertension, is the main ingredient in Amlip. Amlip comes in the form of tablets. Your doctor may prescribe you to take it alone or with other hypertension medicines. Their advice will depend on the severity of your condition and medical history. So, it is important to let the doctor know if you have any pre-existing conditions.
Hypertension is caused by narrowing of blood vessels while angina (chest pain) is caused by poor circulation of blood to the heart due to narrowing of heart blood vessels.
Amlodipine works on the systemic (body) blood vessels by relaxing and widening them. This allows blood to flow more freely and helps the heart pump blood easily throughout the body and lower blood pressure.
For angina, this extra flow of blood provides the heart with more oxygen and relaxes the blood vessels, helping to relieve chest pain. Amlip is not a painkiller, it instead works on the cause of the pain (alleviating shortages in oxygen supply to the heart).
Amlip comes in three dosages. Amlip 2.5mg is likely to be prescribed for those with liver or kidney issues for whom Amlip is a crucial treatment. Amlip 5mg is the most commonly prescribed dosage for the start of treatment for adults.
It can be reduced or increased as needed. Its uses include both hypertension and angina. Amlip 10mg is only considered in severe or persistent cases where the other dosages have been found to be ineffective.

Amlip is simple to use and highly effective, as long as it’s taken as instructed.
At any time, if you feel that Amlip (Amlodipine) isn’t working well for you or you’re getting some side effects, seek help from your doctor. Do not change the dosage or stop taking it on your own.
Don’t panic, everyone is forgetful sometimes. Simply take it once you remember or wait until the next scheduled dose and carry on as normal. Never take double the amount to make up for the missed dose as this can lead to unpleasant side effects and there is no benefit in doing so. If you keep missing doses, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
If you think you’ve taken too much Amlodipine then you should seek medical help immediately. Symptoms of an Amlip overdose include sleepiness and feeling severely dizzy. Even if you don’t think you’ve taken too much, you should also seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms.
