Amlodipine

Amlodipine tablets are a convenient and proven way to help lower and control blood pressure. It's mostly recommended to people who are at risk of further health problems as a result of their blood pressure. It's also helpful in treating or preventing mild to very serious cases of angina and lowering cholesterol.

The smooth muscles situated in the artery walls need calcium to contract. This calcium is supplied to the muscles though special calcium channels. Amlodipine blocks these channels, causing the calcium to move more slowly to the muscles. If the muscles have a reduced supply of calcium, they don't tend to contract as much, causing them to become more relaxed, making them dilate. This eases the passage of blood through the arteries, so the heart doesn't have to strain as much to get blood circulating sufficiently in your body.

The more freely blood can move, the more oxygen-rich blood can reach your heart, which is why it's also used to treat angina.

You may be able to buy Amlodipine online from euroClinix if you are 18 years or older and have been diagnosed with hypertension by a doctor.

It's not recommended that you take Amlodipine if you are pregnant, nursing or are allergic to the main ingredient. Also make sure that you mention in your online consultation if you have heart valve problems, congestive heart failure or liver disease as you may not be able to use this treatment if this is the case. You should also ensure that you mention any medications you may be taking, as certain medications may be incompatible with Amlodipine.

Amlodipine is a long term treatment that is usually taken in a single daily dose until your doctor feels that they are no longer necessary or you require a different type of treatment. Amlodipine is available in two different doses and a doctor will normally start you off on the lowest dosage and increase it with time if necessary. Amlodipine tablets are available in 5mg and 10mg dosages.

If Amlodipine is taken correctly, side effects are rare, but like with all prescription medication there is a slight risk. The more common side effects are dizziness or light-headedness, headaches, persistent dry coughs and swelling of the hands, feet or ankles. Speak to your doctor if you experience these as sometimes mild side effects are an indication that you may have to take a lower dose or switch to different treatment.

Side effects such as allergic reactions, darker urine, fainting, a slow or irregular heartbeat or persistent nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea are extremely rare, and should be referred to a doctor immediately if they occur.
