Amdoxine 50mg

Amdoxine 50mg Tablet is a medication that contains the active ingredient amlodipine, which belongs to a class of drugs known as calcium channel blockers. It is primarily prescribed to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and certain types of chest pain (angina). By relaxing the blood vessels, amlodipine allows blood to flow more easily, helping to lower blood pressure and reduce the workload on the heart. This can help prevent heart attacks, strokes, and kidney problems.

The 50mg dosage refers to the amount of amlodipine in each tablet, though it’s worth noting that standard dosages typically range from 2.5 mg to 10 mg per day. Therefore, Amdoxine 50mg might indicate a special formulation or extended-release version, or it may be a typo as such a high dosage is not common.

As with any medication, Amdoxine 50mg should be taken under the supervision of a healthcare provider. Common side effects may include swelling of the ankles or feet, dizziness, or flushing. In rare cases, more severe side effects like severe hypotension or heart problems can occur. Patients should follow their doctor’s instructions closely and report any unusual symptoms promptly.
