Amlovas H Tablet contains two active ingredients that work in tandem:

• Amlodipine (5 mg): This is a calcium channel blocker. It acts by limiting the movement of calcium ions into the smooth muscle cells in your blood vessels. By doing so, it relaxes and widens your blood vessels, which reduces the resistance they offer to blood flow and subsequently lowers your blood pressure.

• Hydrochlorothiazide (12.5 mg): This component belongs to a class of medicines known as thiazide diuretics. They act on your kidneys to increase the excretion of sodium, chloride, and water from your body. With less fluid in your system, your blood volume decreases and so does your blood pressure. Furthermore, hydrochlorothiazide enhances the blood-pressure-lowering effect of amlodipine.

• Store Amlovas H Tablet at room temperature.

• Protect the medicine from light and moisture.

• Keep it in its original packaging until it's time to take it.

• Always store this medicine out of reach of children.

• Make sure you use the medicine before its expiry date.

• If you are taking Amlovas H Tablet for managing high blood pressure, try to limit your salt intake. Too much salt can raise blood pressure and make your medicine less effective.

• Regular physical activity can also help in managing hypertension. Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise, like brisk walking, on most days of the week. But remember, always consult your doctor before starting a new exercise regimen.
