Composition

Amlodipine (5 Mg) + Telmisartan (40 Mg)

Amodep Tm Tablet 10 is used to manage high blood pressure, a condition known as hypertension. It's a combination medicine that falls under the category of antihypertensives.

This medicine is beneficial for those whose blood pressure isn't adequately controlled by either of the active ingredients used alone. Therefore, it offers an effective solution for managing high blood pressure and ensuring better cardiovascular health.

As with all medicines, you should take this under the guidance of your doctor. Your doctor will determine the correct dosage and frequency for you. Always inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before you start this medicine. If you encounter any adverse side effects, promptly inform your doctor. For the best results, take the medicine for the entire duration prescribed by your doctor.

Amodep Tm Tablet 10 is employed for managing these health conditions:

Controlling high blood pressure, or hypertension
Management of essential hypertension in adults with insufficient control by amlodipine or telmisartan monotherapy

Directions for Use of Amodep Tm Tablet 10

Here's how you should take Amodep Tm Tablet 10:

Swallow the entire tablet with a glass of water.
Do not chew, crush, or break it.
Always follow your doctor's advice regarding the dose and duration of use.
Never exceed the recommended dose without consulting your doctor.
Do not stop using this medicine suddenly without speaking to your doctor first.

Amodep Tm Tablet 10 is taken orally.

While taking Amodep Tm Tablet 10, you might experience the following side effects:

Peripheral oedema, a swelling in your hands, feet, ankles, or lower legs
Headache
Dizziness
Fatigue
Nausea
Diarrhoea

Managing the Side Effects:

Most of the side effects are temporary and generally mild and can be resolved by stopping the use of Amodep Tm Tablet 10. However, if you experience any serious side effects or your symptoms worsen, inform your doctor.

Here's how to manage certain common side effects:

Nausea: Try taking the medicine with food to help prevent this.
Diarrhoea: You can consider taking the tablet after meals to lessen this effect.

Amodep Tm Tablet 10 contains two active ingredients:

Telmisartan (40 mg): Telmisartan works as an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB). It selectively blocks the binding of angiotensin II to AT1 receptors in vascular smooth muscle and the adrenal gland. This action inhibits the vasoconstrictor and aldosterone-secreting effects of angiotensin II, thereby reducing blood pressure.
Amlodipine (5 mg): This component acts as a calcium channel blocker in your body. It hinders the influx of calcium ions into your vascular smooth muscle cells and cardiac muscle cells, leading to vasodilation or widening of blood vessels. As a result, there's decreased peripheral vascular resistance and a reduction in blood pressure.

Together, these two ingredients work synergistically to effectively lower high blood pressure.

Pregnancy

Amodep Tm Tablet 10 is not recommended during pregnancy due to the potential risks to the foetus. It's crucial to discuss this with a doctor if you are pregnant or planning to conceive.

Breastfeeding

Exercise caution before taking Amodep Tm Tablet 10 in case you are breastfeeding. It's best to consult a doctor before taking this medicine.

Alcohol

Caution is advised if you are consuming alcohol when taking Amodep Tm Tablet 10, as it may intensify the blood pressure-lowering effects of the medicine.

Liver

If you have a history of liver impairment, be cautious while taking Amodep Tm Tablet 10. This medicine is not recommended for patients with severe liver diseases. Discuss any liver-related issues with a doctor before starting this medication.

Kidney

If you have a history of kidney issues, exercise caution before taking Amodep Tm Tablet 10. Discuss any kidney-related issues with a doctor before starting this medication.

Using Machines & Driving

Amodep Tm Tablet 10 could cause dizziness or fatigue. Thus, caution should be taken while driving or operating machinery until you know how this medicine impacts you.

Allergy

Amodep Tm Tablet 10 is not recommended if you are allergic to amlodipine, telmisartan, or any other components in this medicine. Your doctor can recommend alternative options.

Children

This medicine should not be given to children under the age of 18 unless medically prescribed.

Older Patients
